(Baudelaire)

Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma. There are always two sides to a story. Let's hear Knightley's version. It's intended to be more short stories from George Knightley's POV as Emma fans already know what happens. I didn't want to re-write what was already known or written (I would highly recommend reading Emma first). In the future I plan to connect it into a novel. January 2023 - First draft complete. Editing in progress.

Sam Paine knew exactly two things: That Mrs. Oliver was in the family way, and that the bump on his head was there to remind him never to congratulate expectant mothers again.

Marquess Ambrose Aboraqua is the wealthiest son of a Duke in all of England. At only 20 years old, he is already a key voice in the House of Lords, an eloquent speaker, new ruler over a small territory off the European Coast, and is the object of attraction for many girls in the country. Despite all of this status, Aboraqua is rather elusive, and very hard to catch outside of the House of Lords and his own estate, leaving his love life completely a mystery to the common eye. When he starts appearing to one peasant girl in particular, what will become of a love when faced with a difference of riches, and perhaps a difference of loyalties? And what can beauty do to one who is unfamiliar with it?
