A Daughter's Inheritance

Raised by her grandparents after her parents' deaths and close as sisters to her cousins Amanda and Sophie, Fannie Broadmoor is completely unconcerned with social conventions despite being a member of a very prominent family. Fannie has fallen in love with Michael, the family's boat-keeper and isn't worried about who knows it. Everything changes when her grandfather dies, leaving her a third of vast Broadmoor estate and holdings. Her new guardian, Uncle Jonas, secretly furious and coveting her inheritance, doesn't view the relationship favorably and expects her to conduct herself in a proper manner. With Michael leaving to make his fortune, hoping to prove his worth, Frannie is left at the mercy of her scheming uncle.
