When Benedict Fitzgilbert’s sister’s enforced absence from London exposes him to Society husband-hunters, Lilith suggests he and her friend Julia Congreve pretend to have an attachment in order to keep the Marriage Mart matriarchs off his back. But beautiful Julia is the epitome of a society butterfly, and Benedict is far too focused on hunting for the criminal mastermind known as ‘Flint’ to waste time on a masquerade. Unfortunately, it seems that the best way to distract Flint from the net closing stealthily around him is to make Benedict's and Julia's practical arrangement appear real. A Practical Arrangement is the eighth Newmarket Regency by Jan Jones. It is also the fourth and final story in the Furze House Irregulars series featuring women of spirit, women of courage, women who don't see why, in this male-dominated Regency era, they should not also play their part in bringing wrong-doers to justice. less
