Unless they wish to live on charity, they will have to find genteel employment for themselves. Annabelle becomes governess to the daughters of the recently bereaved Earl of Brackenwood.

Allan is slowly getting used to life as a widower, but his mother is determined that he must marry again and produce an heir.
