The obvious choice of husband may not be the best one for Grace. Cambridge, 1896. When gifted mathematician Grace Marshall is thrown into poverty by the sudden loss of her distinguished father, marriage seems to offer the best hope of security.

Autorenporträt
Lucy Greenhill loves to write stories whose starting point is a real incident or place and can often be found searching archives and libraries. The inspiration for An Utterly Unsuitable Lady was the notorious case in the 1860s of a rich man who fooled an innocent young woman into a fraudulent marriage before abandoning her without a penny. Could a happy life be salvaged from such wreckage? The MOTH agency romances introduce Lucia and Christabel Venables, an independently-minded pair of sisters living in Victorian Cambridge. Christabel runs a hat shop and Lucia is proprietor of the agency which introduces ladies and gentlemen pursuing romance, and generally looks into Matters Of The Heart. There are plenty more Moth Agency romances to come. Lucy also writes Edwardian mysteries under the pen name of Fran Smith. She lives with her husband, dog and chickens on the edge of the fens near Cambridge, England.
