Dear Mr. Clemens,
As your local correspondent in Fenwick has no doubt informed you, our dear little village has been at the center of a miraculous discovery.
Mr. Barnaby Ash, a talented historian, has not only found true love here in our seaside home, but has paved the way for others to do likewise. Thanks to his diligence and the assistance of our own favorite spinster, Miss Joy Tully, a local legend was unearthed and solved.
We shall ignore the prattle about Mr. Ash growing wings and speaking in ancient tongues. That is mere gossip. But the truth is no less strange. According to a manuscript found in a local resident’s library, fae once dwelt in these parts. And one of them fell in love with a human traveler. To celebrate their love, they blessed the waters at a local spring.
As the owner of The Queen’s Barque Inn, I can proudly say that our well stands upon that very site. One has simply to drink from the well to find true happiness with one’s beloved.
Of course, a visit to the well would be impossible without staying on the property where it is found. Grand renovations are taking place to host all the hopeful lovers that make the journey to our isolated village. I assure you, you will not only find your happy ending but will make memories that last a lifetime.
Eager to welcome you,
Henry Brewster, Esq.

Disgraced lady Daisy Warren serves ale in a tumbledown inn, sings crude songs for the smugglers, and writes romantic novels in her spare time. Shunned by her own class, she’s resigned to her lowly life—until someone tries to kill her.
Now we’ve heard rumors she isn’t at all what she should be and is carrying on with a local man just back from the late war. What makes it good press is the woman in question is none other than the daughter of the Duke of Sudbury. Sudbury! As high a stickler as they come.
A little Greek is one thing; the art of love is another. Only one man ever tried to teach Lady Georgiana Hayden both. She learned painfully, a young age to keep her heart safe. She learned to keep loneliness at bay through work. If it takes a scandalous affair to teach her what she needs to complete her work, she will risk it. If the man in question chooses not to teach her, she will use any means at her disposal to change his mind. She is determined to give voice to the ancient women whose poetry has long been neglected.
I’m writing to tell you our papa has overcome the Fever he suffered. You don’t need to travel home, the roads being unpleasant this time of year, and you so far up north. My Edward continues to managing the drapery with the old man ill. While I shudder to be blunt, the business prospers under his care, no matter what you might have heard from Papa who, as I’ve written is becoming queer in his old age.
