Rescued by an Earl

Jacintha Seaworth is wise, complex and watchful. A beautiful woman, she nevertheless prefers to sit out from the dances, preferring to watch people and their interactions.
She really couldn't have chosen a childhood friend more different from her than Henry Musgrave, brother to family friend Claudia, and quite a social ladies' man.
Now that Jacintha is the next daughter in line to fulfill her father's wishes of seeing all of his daughters married before his illness takes him, it's time for her to grow up and actually evaluate her feelings for Henry.

It's true that Alexander Slate, naval captain and Earl of Highbury, is a much more suitable match, but Jacintha will never be able to deny that there is something there inside of her for Henry. For all his shortcomings, maybe, just maybe, he could become a changed man.
If only the path to love for at least one of the Seaworth daughters could be free of doubt or worry.
Somehow, it doesn't even look like sweet and kind hearted Jacintha will be spared a dramatic and harrowing road to love.
