Can marriage and ambition work together…?
London, 1796
Lady Mary Hope, known as Maidie, refuses to allow herself to be pushed into marriage with a man she dislikes. So she presents herself to Laurie, Viscount Delagarde, and asks him to sponsor her for a Season.
Laurie is flabbergasted. As a confirmed bachelor he is the least suitable person for such a task.
But his aunt Hester has other ideas…
When Laurie’s household is suddenly inundated with women, he is determined to make a stand, especially when Maidie’s decidedly odd behaviour threatens to risk his reputation.
But can he tame this eccentric and wilful maid into a respectable wife? Will she agree to change for his sake?
Or could her transformation from a dowdy maid to a sparkling diamond cause Laurie to be the one to rethink what he wants in life…?
