Marriage

Lady Juliana speaks with her father about her future; he answers by presenting the Duke of L---—a match she can hardly bear to contemplate.

In the drawing rooms of early nineteenth-century society, a young woman’s prospects are weighed in rank and fortune as carefully as in affection. Lady Juliana’s father, the Earl of Courtland, expects her to marry for status, while her own heart is drawn to a handsome man without money. Between a ducal match she resists and a love her family may not accept, Juliana must decide how much of her future belongs to her. Can she choose happiness without paying the price her father demands?
