Description:
The London Season! Glittering balls, society, handsome beaus. Every Regency lady's dream. But not Katerina Fortune's. And she takes drastic, shocking action to avoid it .
In an inn, on the way to her first London Season, Katerina Fortune hears something that gives her a chance to escape her fate. Acting on impulse, she hires a gig, and presents herself to a reclusive gentleman to offer herself as a bride. For Katerina, the eighth daughter of Castle Fortune (her Yorkshire home) has no intention of letting her father sell her to the highest bidder in town.
The gentleman, who turns out to be the tall and shabby Earl of Covington, naturally refuses her. He does not believe her tale that she too, seeks seclusion and a marriage in name only. However, Katerina has broken her ankle, and so it seems that she must remain with her maid at Covington Park for some weeks to come.
Although in pain, Katerina is truly happy at Covington. She does not see the earl, except at their silent dinners, and he soon realises that she really is not seeking to woo him. Katerina's happiness is in the same seclusion that he enjoys while doing his academic work, and he realises that she is more than just 'bookish' herself. She is, in fact remarkable.
With his brutish, but amusing, servants looking on, this strange pair seem to ignore each other, but are really sharing a connection in a different way than anyone could imagine.
His friend and neighbour Sir Andrew Templeton and his sister (and Covington's old love) Fiona, come to shake the pair from their isolation, touching the hearts of both.
'Since the success of her first novel, Clarissa and the Poor Relations, Alicia Cameron has been admired for her wit, and is the Mistress of feel-good Regency Romance.'
'Reading an Alicia Cameron is better for depression than Prozac.'
'Miss Cameron writes witty, re-readable works of literature.'
'Screwball comedies in Regency dress.'
'I started by reading one novel four times, and now I have read them all. More please.!'
'Passionate and romantic, without the need of graphic sex scenes. Her characters are so alive they walk from the page.''Clean and sweet, but funnier and with less saccharine than most.'
