Lady Felicity Nicolet, known affectionately to her intimates as Ferocity, has had the privilege of being the eldest of the Duke of Pelham’s daughters. She has been the leader of the pack, and she and her six sisters have grown up isolated in the Yorkshire Dales under the wildly unsuitable tutelage of their unconventional father and rather original housekeeper.Felicity’s father has gone along happily, convinced every idea that arrives in his head must be acted on, imagines himself hilariously funny, considers the niceties of society other people’s problem, and does not hesitate to tell a bald-faced lie when it amuses him. He leaves a trail of offended people behind him wherever he goes, including Mr. Percy Stratton’s father.Mr. Stratton, the eldest son of Viscount Denderby, has been watching his friends fall one by one to the parson’s noose. He will not be chained! Unfortunately, the viscount disagrees with his son. This leaves Percy with only one choice—he must become the most hapless and unsuccessful suitor who ever set foot in London. Operation Sadly Hopeless is born.When Felicity sets eyes on the grim-faced Earl of Rustmont, she is instantly struck, though the earl does not return her admiration. Mr. Stratton claims that if Lady Felicity appears to look upon him with favor, the earl will go mad with jealousy. What Percy does not bother to explain is that his father will refuse to sanction any connection to her father—thereby leaving his son the supposed victim of a doomed affection and still very much a bachelor. While so many couples take very usual routes to a church, an unleashed Bengal tiger might be the only thing that can bring this pair together.

Rogues might be everywhere, but she can spot them. Unfortunately, the one man she is wildly attracted to seems to be just the sort of gentleman that ought to set her running in the other direction. Leland Dunmore, Marquess of Manderbey and only son of the Duke of Albany, met Lady Winsome at her sister Lady Verity’s wedding breakfast. The lady was not yet out, but she would be the next season, and he’s been thinking of her ever since. When they meet again, she is everything he’d hoped for. Unbeknownst to him, several of the people in his sphere are inadvertently or deliberately giving Lady Winsome the impression that he is exactly the sort of man she is determined to avoid. One of them might even take the thing to dangerous heights. A suspicious lady and a gentleman appearing to be a rogue could not possibly have a chance at success. But then, perhaps claiming a thing is impossible is foolhardy if those two people are particularly determined.
