SummaryWhen you're the oldest daughter, you don't get to have any
fun!
Witty, orphaned Tess Essex faces her duty: marry well and
marry quickly, so she can arrange matches for her three
sisters -- beautiful Annabel, romantic Imogen and practical
Josie.After all, right now they're under the rather awkward
guardianshipof the perpetually tipsy Duke of Holbrook. But
just whenshe begins to think that all might end well, one
of her sisters boltswith a horse-mad young lord, and her
own fiancé just plain runs away.
Which leaves Tess contemplating marriage to the sort of man
she wishes to avoid -- one of London's most infamous rakes.
Lucius Felton is a rogue whose own mother considers him
irredeemable! He's delicious, Annabel points out. And he's
rich,Josie notes. But although Tess finally consents to
marryhim, it may be for the worst reason of all. Absurd as
she knows it to be, she may have fallen utterly in love...
