Synopsis

Lovely but penniless Harriet Metcalf is aghast when a nobleman’s will names her guardian of his snobbish twin daughters when they come out during the next London season. And is she wily enough for the intrigues of the ton—or its two most eligible bachelors, the Marquess of Huntingdon and Lord Vere? Harriet sees them as suitors for the twins, while the gentlemen see only Harriet’s charms. Soon she is falling in love with one of the dashing rakes … but a cruel betrayal will be her ruin unless the Clarges Street servants can save a lady’s honor when she loses her heart.

romanzetto gradevole, con personaggi simpatici (molti dei quali incontrati nelle puntate precedenti), storia leggera ma godibile e descrizioni della vita londinese durante la stagione mondana. perfetto per svagarsi con lievità, senza avere aspettative troppo alte.......more
