When siblings Lisette and Sabien Olivay are surprised by their parents with arranged marriages, they are unable to decline despite their desires to do so. Soon they are both removed from the city to the seaside town of Seldoné where they will spend the year prior to Sabien's wedding with his bride-to-be and her family. Although the hope is that Sabien will become better acquainted with his fiancé Genevieve and possibly fall in love with her, it seems that Lisette is the one who falls in love instead. Author's Note: - This is only the second draft of the story, it is my intention to improve upon what I have written. - I publish at least one part every Friday night. - Because I have a complete rough draft of the story I guarantee that I will not leave it unfinished, I have spent too much time and effort to give up on it and will continue to publish it even if there are brief hiatuses every now and then. - I thoroughly appreciate and acknowledge polite and constructive criticism. I want my story to be enjoyable to read and so I enjoy getting input from the readers. Cover art: Portrait of Two Elegantly Dressed Ladies by Robert Jacques François Faust Lefèvre

Can two people who are forced on a turbulent journey of lies, and deceit, still overcome and discover true love? Read Book Two of the Heiress Trilogy: "The Accidental Heiress." It can be read as a stand-alone book, but I would encourage everyone to read Book One first: "The Shipping Heiress." _____________________________________ Abagail Mercy Fulton, recently adopted by Bella Fulton Now-The Duchess of Windsor- is a rich American heiress living among the Haute Ton in England. After an accident, long ago at sea, claimed the lives of her parents, the influential, successful, and wealthy Fulton family took Abagail in and cared for her as their own. With Abagail's beloved sister, Jade Fulton, now betrothed to an Earl, Abagail feels alone as she tries to navigate and fit into the often cruel and unforgiving High Society of London's upper ten thousand. Lord Richard Freeman, is handsome, titled, wealthy, and an eligible, marquess who would love nothing more than to help ease Abagail's way through London's daunting High Society. Having found himself recently captivated and intrigued by her beauty and the hidden depths of her personality, he fears for his heart. No one has ever piqued his interest quite like the shy and sensible American Heiress. Miss Abagail Fulton is different from all the other simpering misses, and a real danger to Lord Freeman: she's the type of woman he could see spending the rest of his life with and being eternally happy and forever content. However, Lord Richard Freeman, The Marquess of Winchester, has a secret: a secret that's so shocking it could cause Abagail to turn to another.

Stumbling upon an old document that could save her, she discovers the uncommon arrangement between her father and the late Viscount Killsworth. The agreement places her into the capable arms and mercy of Killsworth's son, an unmarried gentleman who turns into her protector and guardian. Lord Killsworth keeps himself isolated due to a secret.
