The Apparent Heir

by Janey Watson

Giles Thornton, good-looking and diligent, is apparently everything any man could ask for in his heir. It is surprising then, that his uncle requires him to prove his worth, and not so surprising that his dastardly cousins are determined to discredit him. Only Miss Felicia Makepeace of Castle Leck is prepared to accept him as he is. ‘Almost I am decided to run away with Giles and live in some hovel with him.’‘What, and foreswear your castle? Miss Makepeace without her castle would not do. I see you clearly as Rapunzel in her turret, her golden tresses cascading down the walls of the castle!’‘You mistake, I am more like the sleeping beauty awaiting her prince for a hundred years.’
