Harry Windover adores blonde, green-eyed Athena Lancaster, but alas, a penniless man like himself has no hope of winning a young noblewomanâs hand. To add insult to injury, Athenaâs brother-in-law and guardian, the Duke of Kielder, has asked Harry to assist Athena in finding the gentleman of her dreams.
But the lovesick Harry is cunning as well: as the weeks pass, he introduces Athena to suitors who are horrifically boring, alarmingly attached to their mothers, downright rude, astoundingly self-absorbed, and utterly ridiculous. Athena canât comprehend why she is having so little success meeting eligible and acceptable gentlemen. Indeed, her circle of admirers couldnât be less admirable - nothing like the loyal, gentle friend sheâs found in Harry.
But how long can Harryâs scheme be hidden before it is discovered? And what will Athena do when she uncovers Harryâs deception? Escape into a charming regency world in this delightfully romantic comedy of manners that will entertain you to the very last word.
