Book Description
Newly returned from India, Miss Cecilia Worth, who has been dubbed “Miss Disaster” by the gossips, needs a husband. Or rather, her guardian, Lord Marshfield, believes she absolutely requires one. Cecy, however, strongly disagrees. Still, she is willing to humor her guardian and venture to London to participate in the Marriage Mart - so long as she is able to choose the man she will eventually marry. The last thing Lord Trenton Pike wants is to be called home from the Continent to play chaperone to his uncle’s ward, Miss Worth. Unfortunately, he also doesn’t have a choice in the matter. Escorting Cecy about London, Trent would be only too happy to foist her off upon the first man who would take her – except that doing so would break his uncle’s heart. As Trent trails Cecy around London, however, he comes to see that she is not the walking disaster he assumed she was. In fact, she’s far more than what he or anyone else sees. They just don’t bother to look closely. Can Trent find Cecy a husband by the end of the Season, one who can see her for the wonderful woman she truly is? And more importantly, can he keep her out of his bed until that mystery man finally appears to sweep her away to wedded bliss? This 99,000 word novel is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
