![]() ![]() Kit and Tamsyn meet at a ball when he has a week left before the stated deadline. Her uncle wants to sell the family manor, Tamsyn's childhood home, and she needs enough funds to purchase it herself. ![]() She's in London to find a buyer for her latest shipment of illicit goods, and if she could find a wealthy husband who won't ask too many questions as well, that would solve a lot of her problems. ![]() For the last eight years, she and the villagers have run a successful smuggling operation, making sure the taxes could get paid and everyone would be able to feed themselves and their children. Tamsyn Pearce has been an orphan since she was in her early teens and while her aunt and uncle seem to care very little about the lives and fates of the residents of the little Cornish village of Newcombe, Tamsyn feels differently. It doesn't leave him very much time to find someone willing to marry him. Hence he is surprised when he is told his mentor wishes to leave him a substantial fortune.as long as he finds a wife within the next month. It doesn't really bring in any money, though, so Kit is pretty much penniless and mounting up debts living the life of a libertine upon his return to London, everything to forget his time in battle. Christopher "Kit" Ellingsworth was given an Earldom for his bravery during the Napoleonic wars. ![]()
