Lord Preston's Secret Governess
[Synopsis]
Breaking News: Penniless Lady Jacqueline Somerset to Become Governess at Preston Manor!
Miss Somerset, left destitute after her father's death and subsequent bankruptcy, has been hired as the thirteenth governess for young Benjamin Preston.
Rumors abound that the Marquess of Preston's demanding nature led to the dismissal of the previous twelve governesses, none of whom lasted more than two months. Wagers are now circulating amongst the esteemed gentlemen of the ton as to how long Miss Somerset will endure.
Meanwhile, a custody battle has erupted between the Marquess, young Benjamin's uncle, and His Majesty the King, the boy's maternal grandfather, over the future Marquess of Preston. All eyes are on Miss Somerset to see what impact her arrival will have on this escalating conflict.
Lady Jacqueline Somerset: an earl's daughter reduced to penury.
Lord Windsor Preston: a bastard son elevated to Marquess.
Benjamin Preston: orphaned and facing the potential loss of his inheritance to his uncle.
This tale of the three most talked-about individuals in the capital will continue in our follow-up reports. (Informants will be handsomely rewarded.)
