Summary: In 1818, Miss Selina Dalton was a lady’s companion before heading to London at the invitation of her school friend, Miss Julia Thistlewaite, but Julia has ulterior motives. Julia wants Selina’s help in exposing Mr. Jeremy Malcolm to public ridicule after she failed to meet his list of requirements for a suitable wife. Selina isn’t one to scheme, and maybe Mr. Malcolm is actually nice, and maybe this comedy of errors could turn into a happy ending for everyone. A cheeky look at the different expectations placed on men versus women during the Regency Era, revealing the limitations society accords individuals in terms of their family connections and personal wealth and education. Both general fiction readers and romance fans looking for a story that will transport them to another time and place, seeking new fictional friends, or hoping to watch characters grow more self-aware and compassionate will revel in this smart love story.
