Book description
When her sister takes the proffered chance of a London season under
the aegis of their aunt, Clarissa fears her only chance of marriage
may come with the stolid and worthy local clergyman. Then, when her
impetuous twin suddenly disappears, she steps into the breach and
impersonates her in an attempt to placate society and discover her
sister's whereabouts.
Clarissa is thrown in at the deep end, surrounded by the modish
friends who have known her sister for several months and expect her to
be up to date on all the latest gossip and fashions. Not only is her
personal maid and confidante already suspicious, but to cap it all,
her sister's fiance unexpectedly arrives on the scene. Doggedly, she
continues her attempts to find her sister, despite the difficulties
inherent in asking questions about the very person she's
impersonating, while in the meantime she wards off the advances of her
sister's fiance, the devilishly handsome Lord Leighton.
What with his skilful love-making and constant companionship,
Clarissa's own heart is soon in danger. They are falling in love, but
how can she cheat her own sister of Leighton's attention?
Natasha lives in mid-Norfolk with her family and has four
grandchildren. She has now retired but was formally head of IT for a big
company in Norwich. Natasha enjoys reading, writing, walking and
travelling. She has lived and worked abroad in Libya and Belgium.
