Banished From Beauty - A Victorian Romance Novella (The Victorian Arrangement #4)
R.G. Winter

But when Clare takes a shot at a buck and nearly shoots Winston, who happens to be riding across her father's country estate, instead of rage their love blooms quickly. With a little help from Winston's sister Madelaine -- she of the unhappy betrothal to a duke -- the two manage to spend some quality time together in London. But while Winston is a Lord he's also an heir and a son and there's no way Lord or Lady De Winter, already besieged by scandal, are going to allow their only son to marry a woman with such terrible prospects. The young lovers are torn apart. Clare is banished back to the country, and Winston is sent off to the Continent, a move that effectively ensures they will never see each other again.
