An Altered Situation

A Mallorton Village Regency

Eldest daughter of an elite manor family, Phoebe Densford’s beloved mother asked her to do one thing before she died: care for her younger siblings and father. Debts devastate her family’s prospects, and her mother’s last request threatens the fulfillment of her heart’s greatest desire. She must decide if she will give up a possible union with the man she has loved for three years, her brothers’ tutor, David Camburn. A man who is her social inferior in every way, including fortune.

The son of a self-made man, David longs to establish himself away from the whims of wealthy families. A romantic entanglement with another employer’s daughter almost ended his career. Similar consequences might await should he act on his growing feelings for Phoebe, and her father chooses to retaliate. And he doesn’t know if this employer’s daughter will stand firm against familial opposition.

A trip through the vibrant Lincolnshire countryside force Phoebe and David to decide if they will risk personal and professional loss to be together or separate and give into the forces opposing their love.
