Lady Marianne, spirited and sharp-tongued, never imagined that a chance encounter with the composed and quietly clever Lord Peregrine would turn her orderly world upside down. Known in society as a calm and proper gentleman, Peregrine conceals a wit, courage, and charm that few have ever witnessed. When the insufferable fortune hunter Sir Giles attempts to claim Marianne’s hand through a series of absurd schemes, Peregrine’s ingenuity and steady composure foil him at every turn. Amid misadventures in horse stables, garden fêtes, and dance floors, Marianne discovers the true nature of the “frog” she once underestimated. A delightfully witty Regency romance filled with clever dialogue, comic mishaps, and subtle sparks of attraction, proving that sometimes, princes are hiding in the most unexpected places.
