Books like The Right Suitor by Rebecca Ashley
Priscilla Springton has spent her entire life in India, learning the customs of her home country yet knowing little of England or its genteel society. When her parents insist on an arranged marriage to an English gentleman, her world begins to shift.
Lord Knole, a young Englishman with no inclination toward marrying a daughter of a nabob, feels bound by family duty to the Springton household. Offered the chance to learn proper accomplishments, Priscilla is compelled to prepare for a future she never imagined.
As Priscilla navigates the expectations of Anglo‑Indian society and the rigid conventions of the Regency era, her initial disdain for Lord Knole turns to affection, suggesting that love may blossom even in the most unlikely of circumstances.
