Lady Dorothea Ansley knows she baffles her mother and
annoys her father with her prattle. Luckily, her fellow Curious Ladies are
patient with her and great company during the season. But the season is coming
to a close, and she is still without an offer of marriage. She needs a proposal
quickly before her mother’s wandering eye causes a scandal and all chances of
marriage disappear. As she stands alone at the final ball, she unwittingly
catches the attention of Lord Harewood, but in a very different way than she
expects.
Lord Felton Ambrose is quite good at predicting what
will occur next whether it be in parliament or the next couple to be betrothed,
but he never would have predicted Lady Dorothea’s conversation at the season’s final
fete would be of any interest to him in the least. Curious if the moment was
simply a serendipitous occurrence, he ensures that she’s invited to his family’s
upcoming house party. She is the perfect lady for whom to find a suitor and
achieve his goal of improving the reputation of the Belinda School for Curious
Ladies to best honor the woman after which it was named.
Though his social experiment is a success and multiple men become enamored of Lady Dorothea, he is not at all happy. The lady has changed according to his sage advice, and she has taught him a few lessons on happiness in the process. By all rights, he should be basking in the glow of a goal reached, a victory hard won, but for the first time in his life, he fears he may, just possibly, have been wrong. Has he done the greatest disservice to Lady Dorothea, to the school, and to himself? More importantly, will he be too late to rectify his mistake?
