*Possible Spoilers Ahead*Colin is a newly minted Earl who has lived his entire life sensitive to prejudice and bias nipping at his heels. His ill-fated first marriage is just another layer added to the reason for his self-imposed bid for reclusiveness. He hasn't even resigned himself to it when his eye catches someone entering his stables late one night. Once captured the would be thief turns out to be the lovely and fiesty Miss Eliza Crenshaw. She claims she is running away rather than being forced to marry.> This is where the games begin. Ms. Jeffries' clever wielding of the pen brings forth gasps, smiles and down right laugh out moments as Colin really has to work at not allowing Eliza to get the best of him until he can verify her story. After doing so he is determined to not only ensure that her uncle does right by her, but that he does too.> This is a short, sweet and wonderful story which provides a look at racial prejudice in England and India during the Regency period. Very well done and thank you for your contribution to the social conscientiousness of the day.
