Description
In Regency England, Sir Gareth Ludlow sets out to offer marriage to his longtime friend, Lady Hester Theale, believing a sensible union is preferable to pursuing love. His plans take an unexpected turn when he becomes entangled with the spirited, elusive Amanda Smith, drawing him into a lively journey through London and the countryside. With its mistaken assumptions, unconventional heroines, and gently satirical view of courtship and social expectations, the novel explores the difference between duty, convenience, and genuine affection. Witty, warmhearted, and richly atmospheric, it showcases the elegant humor and memorable characterizations of classic Regency romance.
