Lady Victoria Aston has everything she could want: with an older sister happily wed, and the future of her family estate secure, she has few obligations and ample opportunity to while her time away in the fields around her home. But Vicky’s comfortable, idyllic life is overturned, and she must quickly marry—or find herself and her family destitute. Armed only with the wisdom she has gained from her beloved novels by Jane Austen, Vicky enters society’s season in a flutter of silks, dances, and pretty words.
Jane Austen meets The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue in this winking, witty stand-alone historical romance with a dash of mystery.
