Book description
Two young women, up from Steepwood to London for the Season,
immediately attract the attention of two highly eligible young men.
Tall, dark and confident, Athene Filmer seizes the opportunity to act as
companion to her small, blonde and decidedly timid friend when she is
launched into the ton. Illegitimate, with no dowry, Athene sees this as
her one chance to make a rich marriage. But troubles arise when both
young women consider Adrian, Lord Kinloch, to be the ideal husband. It's
more than obvious to Athene that his formidably brusque cousin, Nicholas
Cameron, is disapproving of her - seeing her as an adventuress on the
make - but since Nick has shown no signs of offering her marriage
himself, she knows she should dismiss all thought of him! But Nick will
not be ignored. . . Two young women, up from Steepwood to London for
