A Royal Enticement: A Sweet Royal Romance: 7 (Young Royals)

Lady Margaret de la Fontaine was the forgotten lady in waiting. She didnt mind...most of the time. She liked working with Lady Savannah and the others and believed whole-heartedly in what the queen was trying to achieve in their small country of Merveille. She just wished that someone would notice her just once.Queen Alyssas ladies in waiting had one by one met and fallen in love with their dream partners all except Margaret not that anybody had given her single status another thought. That didnt mean she didnt also wish for someone to love but she wasnt holding her breath especially since her best friend Lady Hadley Winchester was now part of the ladies in waiting. It seemed the newest member of the group was a hit with everyone including the queen which was great but once again left Margaret as the wallflower.Until Brín.Brín noticed the sweet wee Maggie standing against the wall while everyone else at the ball danced and chatted. He felt a kinship with her even across the room and sought her out for a little bit of harmless flirting. He was supposed to be checking out the candidates for his arranged marriage but he really wasnt keen on the whole idea. He understood his responsibility as the lost heir of a broken down estate that was haemorrhaging money but he didnt really see himself as the marrying kind...and even if he did hed want to do it for love not money.Brín was immediately taken with Lady Margaret but alas she was not the debutante his advisors had picked out for him. That honour went to Maggies best friend Lady Hadley. But what was a newly minted earl to do when he had the livelihoods of several staff and families to look after? Not to mention if he didnt find a solution he may very well lose the estate and the title that went with it.
