IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
Let's face it, Connor basically owns the homestead and derives some serious income from all of those trading convoys, assassin contracts and naval loot. So he's got to logically be one of the richest guys on the frontier. He's also helpful, treats all people with equal respect, is good with animals, and is highly protective of the people he cares about. Not to mention he's pretty easy on the eyes, is young and is in excellent health. Sure, some idiots would give him grief about being half Native American, but by those days' standards, Connor is top notch husband material.
So word gets out about this mysterious, handsome eligible bachelor out in the frontier. Mothers start dragging their daughters (and sons?) out to the Davenport homestead to court Connor. Some of them have good intentions, but most are manipulative fortune hunters. No matter, because Connor is adorably awkward and clueless when it comes to dealing with romantic attention, whether it be truthful or gold digging. And when he gets frustrated at having all these suitors, he turns a bit Darcy-esque and intolerable of phonies, his social awkwardness and high ideals getting mistaken for snobbery.
I'd prefer Aveline as Connor's Elizabeth Bennet, but any pairing will do as well.
