However, magic is sprinkled upon them and romance blossoms.
THE THIRD SUITOR by Christina Dodd tells of Lady Jessie, an heiress whose father despairs of her wedless state and issues an ultimatum -- pick one of three suitors, or he will. Trying to escape the clutches of one amorous suitor, Jessie crawls through the bushes and is discovered by Harry Chamberlain, Earl of Granville.
