Rainelle
Love and luck be upon ye
After the passing of her father, Adalaide Lovelocke is left alone as the head of her estate. Though she has a capable staff, Adalaide finds herself feeling isolated and a little overwhelmed. But, through the sea of rakes, greedy cousins and high-society drama, a mysterious new neighbor might just be able to help her navigate.

Adalaide sighed heavily, pulling at the silk ribbon under her chin until it unfurled, then removed the hat as it fell off her head. She checked her hair in the hall mirror, then turned to her head butler as he closed the front door.
"How was your trip into town, my lady?" He took her hat and gloves as she peeled them off her hands.
"It was fine, Charles, thank you. Though the linen draper tried to convince me that I'm still wearing last spring's fashion." the abigail hurried to open the door to her office as the pair came down the hall. Charles and the maid bowed as Adalaide sat down behind the solid oak desk.
"My lady, can I get you something? Afternoon tea?"
"Yes, Agnes, please." The maid curtsied and left the room.
"There are two gentleman callers for you, today, my lady." Charles informed her. "One is in the drawing room as we speak."
