The Marquis' Secret by George MacDonald
It was one of those exquisite days that come in every winter and seem like the beautiful ghost of summer The loveliness of the morning, however, was but partially visible from the spot where Malcolm Colonsay stood in the stable yard of Lossie House, ancient and roughly paved. He stood on the unlevelled stones grooming the coat of a powerful and fidgety black mare. Nothing about him indicated he was anything but an ordinary stable-hand...

In this beautifully narrated sequel, George MacDonald continues the exquisite romance begun in The Fisherman’s Lady. Malcolm has discovered his true identity, but for crucial reasons known only to himself he continues to live simply as a fisherman. His chief task is to fulfil his promise to his late father to care for his headstrong half-sister, Lady Florimel, which requires great skill on his part when she embarks on a disastrous love affair. Love is in the air for Malcolm too, but will the beautiful Lady Clementina accept the humble fisherman?
