Velvet Ribbons
It was love at first sight between Clarice and Elias, but, alas. Clarice's cousin had seen Elias first!

Clarice was demure, unassuming and bewildered by her coming-out... neither as self-assured nor as self-willed as her cousin Henrietta. But Clarice's beauty won the eye of the man Henrietta regarded as her own. It was not possible to divide the charming Lord Carelton in two...nor did it seem possible to join him to the girl he now loved. But with energy, ingenuity, deception - and abduction - the impossible might be attempted.

Hero: Lord Elias Carelton
Heroine: Clarice
