Upperclass Stories

The first duty of a lady was to learn how to obey. Cecilia Faye Lansbury knew this.

But he was a groomsman that worked in her family's estate and she was English woman of the upper-class late 18th century. Her obedience starts to falter. When her mother suddenly arranges her to a suitor, she is caught between the crossfire of her duties and desire in a world dominated by class, duties and wealth. Cecilia must make a decision that would truly influence what her future will look like. And whether if her heart will be obedient or break free. Copyright © 2026 Loraine Elle Destry.
