The Mishievous Maid Genevieve Quince is eighteen years old and her family has exploited
her. She has to work for them as a servant and doesn't even get enough
to eat. When they are on a trip to Paris she takes their money
and flees to her neglected estate. She wants to open a pension
there and so she meets Lord Miles Bradford, a rake who lives on the
next estate.
Miles is fascinated by the enchanting new neighbor, but he hates
the thought that she wants to open a pension. So he tries to change
her mind, but nothing really works. Miles soon finds out that he
wants to marry Genevieve, but she always thinks he wants her
as a mistress. So every time when Miles tries to make a proposal
to her, her answer is no because she thinks he wants the other thing
from her.
This is in my eyes another story which the world doesn't need.
It was to incredible, confusing, and badly written. I can't imagine
that an eighteen year old woman can live alone on her estate with
no guardian and no servants. Sorry too unbelievable for me.
