He was just so smitten and I loved his determination. I really liked Devin (aka Wynter) and his non-stop courting. Wynter is thrilled, but Viola still has her doubts because, after all, she’s not a Wilde. When the two are caught in a somewhat compromising act, their fate is sealed. Wynter’s attempts to court Viola, and her brush offs cracked me up. The Duke is fascinated by Viola and sets out to court her, but Viola is stuck on the vicar. After overhearing this, Viola decides to give her a piece of her mind. Wynter states quite clearly that since Viola is an Astley and not a Wilde (confirming Viola’s life-long thoughts) she is not as good as a Wilde and therefore is inferior. Reginald wants Wynter to meet Viola, but the Duke is set on marrying her sister, Joan.
When she arrives in the library she finds it occupied by The Duke of Wynter and his uncle Reginald.
Viola arranges to meet with the vicar during a ball in her and her sister’s honor. She sets her sights on him, despite the fact that he is recently engaged to a termagant. Yes, he is quite handsome, but the man listens to her and makes her feel safe. When Viola meets the new vicar, she is immediately smitten. At her first ball she witnessed a man’s rage (not at her but another woman) and this made her even more reclusive. She is painfully shy and takes most meals in her room, just to avoid people. Viola is shy and quiet, while the rest of the Wilde family is adventuresome. She is an “adopted” daughter in the Wilde family even though her step-father, the Duke of Lindow, considers her his daughter.
Viola Astley doesn’t feel like she belongs in her family.
