No Impediment
By Mira Stables
Strictly speaking there was no impediment to a marriage between the orphaned Pippa Langley, and Quentin Cresswell, the Fifth Marquess of Merland. Except, as the Dowager Marchioness didn’t hesitate to point out, ‘marquesses do not marry village maidens…’
Pippa was hardly a village maiden. Hut although her background was impeccable, and her wealth sufficient, it had to be admitted that she was only the niece of the village doctor. Quentin could most certainly do better for himself…
But Quentin had other ideas, and when the Dowager Marchioness began to meddle she found she had precipitated a most unwelcome situation…
Mira Stables is the author of many historical fiction novels, including The Byram Succession, The Swynden Necklaceand Golden Barrier.
