Produktbeschreibung

Desperate times call for desperate measures . . .

At twenty-five years of age, Lady Anne Winsted is desperate; somewhat, that is. Failed seasons and lack of offers for her hand have left her seeking new ways to attract a betrothal. As a thinker and a planner, she proposes to her cousins and her aunt that she and her cousins learn "other ways" to attract a man. A suitable man, that is. And to accomplish this before the Little Season begins later in the fall, Aunt Bea brings in her friend, Lady Randolph, an accomplished 'tutor' and popular widow in London society, to guide her nieces. The goal? To tantalize and tempt and eventually trap a betrothal. Actually, more than one would be nice . . .

The best laid plans often go awry . . .

With a two-week house party planned at the family estate in the Lake District, the stage is set. However, Adam Hennessy is bound and determined that Lady Anne, his childhood friend and neighbor, will be his before the summer is over. Unfortunately, Lady Randolph has other plans for Anne. A military veteran, Hennessy is not easily defeated. As the house party starts, all bets are off the table . . . and preferably land in his bed.

When all else fails, go to Plan B . . . or is it C?

Joining forces with Aunt Bea, her cousins, his two friends and a handful of servants, Hennessy works to defeat Lady Randolph's plans and steer Anne into his life. But the road to marriage is a rough one at times. Plan D anyone?
