No one asked these questions with more concern than the Honorable Robert Ranleigh, the handsome, aristocratic leader of London male society. For Cecily actually claimed to be his distant relative, and begged him to come to her aid."

Her very displeased grandmother, Lady Mercer, ships her off to distant relations in the wilds of Ireland, where sheer boredom would force her to reflect on her folly. To the surprise of both Georgina and her disapproving grandmama, the Emerald Isle yielded the roguish Mr. Shannon, a handsome Irishman with a most scandalous past. Georgina is sure to set the ton on its ear with her choice of a groom... but for all the wrong reasons! "[3] Lydia: '"On his arrival at one of his recently inherited estates, the Fourth Viscount Northover is surprised to learn that a family from Louisiana have made themselves at home there. In his library he meets Miss Lydia Leyland, who engagingly confides that she has come to England to secure a rich husband. Amused, Lord Northover watches Lydia scheme and flirt with various wealthy men as the Leylands set out to assault London society - always at hand to pull her out of the scrapes into which her forthrightness and charm precipitate her."
