Rich in detail, this regency romance captures the spirit of the era. Susannah Logan experiences London's Season in hopes of catching a titled husband. Her entrance into Society is guided by two men: Julian, the Viscount Hazelton, and Mr. Warwick Jones, a popular wit. Susannah is overwhelmed by her two companions, especially Julian, whose looks are dazzling. However, Julian has his beautiful eyes set on someone else, and Warwick, who is not so pleasing in appearance, has abandoned the notion of finding true love. There is much fun here as these three charming characters sort out their emotions and discover who really loves whom. |
