investigation prodigal raven regency short smugglers sweethearts

Felix returns home in disguise after thirteen years away from home. He plans to catch a smuggler, then take up his viscountcy. He does not expect the smuggler to be Joselyn, his childhood sweetheart. (Short story)

This story was written as a party prize. The winner could choose three things to include in the story (characters, animals, or objects), and a story trope --- a situation or plot line.

I had great fun writing my tale of a lady smuggler, the man sent to bring her to justice, and a loud pet raven. The story trope was that the smuggling was to help the people in her neglected village.

I hope you enjoy it.

A Sense of Propriety by DressageGeek

"After all the trouble I caused. After what I did to you . . . Did you really expect me to be able to look you in the eye?" Cordelia Sutton, young and gentle, has seen her fair share of tribulations in life. From the untimely death of her parents to the forced removal of one of her closest friends, she desired nothing more than a quiet life in the country. But with the insistent urges from a family friend to return to London, the pressure placed upon young ladies by society is difficult enough, even more so for Cordelia who finds herself coming face-to-face with a man she thought she would never see again. Now not only must she find a way to navigate the complex world of the pure bloods but also battle her own emotions pertaining to a certain Marquis. It is a difficult task for one so ignorant of the world to undertake, and one where a sense of propriety could very well mean the difference between life and death for a love once lost. ***All rights reserved.
