Synopsis

A lady in distress... A gentleman in a dress? Amiable but clueless young baronet Sir Harry Hawthorne thought he was making a marriage of convenience to a childhood friend—until his fiancée catches the eye of dashing and dangerous Lord Mannerly. Suddenly Sir Harry’s jealousy is roused to the point that he assumes the identity of his reclusive grandmother in order to keep the all-too-grown-up Miss Olivia Darby under his watchful eye. But the course of true love never did run smooth, and among the obstacles Sir Harry must face are a love-struck younger sister, an elderly widower with an amorous interest in the faux “Lady Hawthorne,” and a rival more ruthless than the hapless Sir Harry ever imagined… “A book you can give to friends who don’t read romance but enjoy the wit of Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde.” —All About Romance
