An Enchanted Affair
She was a most unusual miss, to be sure!

Lovely Lisanne Neville had always found solace in the verdant beauty of Sevrin Woods. But now the woods were about to be destroyed in order to pay off the gambling debts of the Duke of St. Sevrin. Clearly, drastic measures were called for. So Lisanne proposed marriage to the duke. The deal: her fortune for his woods.

The Duke of St. Sevrin put aside his bottle long enough to consider this mad bargain, recognizing he had nothing to offer this sprite of a girl save his crumbling home, hellish reputation, and a mountain of bills. He accepted. It was not the beginning of a fairy-tale marriage, but never underestimate the power of love, and a little bit of magic.

Hero: Sloane St. Sevrin
Heroine: Lisanne Neville
