Description
Beautiful, wealthy, and determinedly independent, twenty-nine-year-old Annis Wychwood is content with her orderly life in Bath—until a chance encounter leads her to take the vulnerable Lucilla into her care. Annis’s efforts to guide her young companion through society are complicated by the arrival of Lucilla’s guardian, the sardonic and unconventional Oliver Carleton, whose blunt manner and irresistible wit challenge Annis at every turn. As sparks fly between them, they must navigate family expectations, social conventions, and the unsettling prospect that love may be far more compelling than independence. Filled with sparkling dialogue, Regency atmosphere, and sharply observed characters, this witty romantic comedy is a delightful late work from one of the genre’s most celebrated authors.
