Books like Vanessa by Catherine Fellows


Mr. Quentin Travers, a landholding gentleman whose title is modest, finds himself under pressure from his widowed stepmother, Mrs. Travers, who insists he marry. To escape her matchmaking, he vanishes into a village where he can remain unseen. There he encounters Vanessa Hartland, who is in the midst of helping her ailing sister Helen after a severe asthma attack. A seemingly ordinary act of aid quickly evolves into a strategic scheme to win the affection of someone for whom Quentin has genuine feelings. Alongside a host of charming animals—a pair of terriers, a poodle, a parrot, and some magpies—Quentin, accompanied by allies such as a hopeful friend and his mistress, a carefree sister, and a brusque innkeeper and his wife, navigates a web of misunderstandings and hidden motives.
