“THIS IS THE most horrible thing your cousin has done up to this point.” Her mother tapped a fan on her open palm, her brows lowered in anger. The entire ride to the Monroe estate she’d not stopped talking and Evangeline was glad to see her mother was on her side. In a way, she felt bad for Prudence, as one thing her mother rarely did was raise her voice.

“I must call off the wedding,” Evangeline said. “It is for the best that Camren and I do not marry. You must agree, Mother.”

Her mother gave her a stern look. “We will postpone it for another few days if we must. There is no rush, but you must marry him. He will lose his home here in London if you do not. Mrs. Dove-Lyon was clear on that.”

“Can’t he just buy it back?”

“It would go into her property holdings and she is not fond of anyone that does not follow through.”

Evangeline certainly didn’t want Camren to lose his London home but, at the same time, surely he could purchase another. He was wealthy by all accounts. “He lives in Scotland. Why not lease when traveling here?”

“From what I understood, his father purchased the property for the family. It has more than monetary value.” Her mother patted Evangeline’s hand. “Everything will be fine. Once we speak to your cousin and aunt, we shall proceed with plans for a wedding.”

Evangeline looked up to the blue sky. It was an unseasonably warm day and she held up a parasol to block the sun. “This entire thing has been a fiasco since the very start.”
