Miss Jesmond's Heir

While inspecting his recently inherited property, Jess Fitzroy finds a youth and two children playing cricket on his grounds. The "youth" was widowed Georgina Herron, but he infuriated her before they could come to terms. Jess didn't think of Georgie as a suitable "parti", until he learned the truth behind the facade she presented to the world.
