Lord Rule knows what he wants in a wife and knows that he has found it in the sweet and biddable Felicity Wexford. What he hasn’t bargained on his her cousin and chaperone, Jemima Selfridge. Miss Selfridge is everything he detests in a woman; opinionated, flippant and far too independent. Their skirmishes become a thorn in his side and a major impediment to his wooing of the fair Felicity. The only way he can get to know his intended better – and advance his plans – is to invite Miss Wexford and her fiesty guardian to a house party over Christmas. Surely then he can get the girl alone? But things don’t quite go according to plan. They never do when Jemima Selfridge is involved. And somehow, he discovers that the woman that he cannot abide has become the one woman that he wants for Christmas…

Exasperated by his continued absence, she decides to take matters into her own hands, traveling up to London to put a daring plan into action. Lord Seddon has quite the reputation as a ladies man, but as the mysterious and alluring Mrs. Hermitage, Alex is determined to snare his interest and in doing so, extract her revenge. Even if she must seduce her own husband to do obtain it…
Confronted with an intolerable marriage to a man she cannot abide, Caprice Lambert decides to take refuge with her childhood friend and flees to Dorset and sanctuary. Dressed as a stableboy, she is determined not to return until her parents see reason and abandon their ridiculous plans. But things go sadly awry when, upon arriving at what she thinks is her destination, she finds herself in the wrong house entirely.
What initally seems like a disaster actually works out far better than she’d anticipated for she is discovered by the delightfully eligible Lord Merridew, a man beset by a multitude of problems. In her guise as stableboy, Caprice finds her help enlisted as his lordship battles dubious relatives, French spies and the unexpected appearance of a body. It’s challenging, but it all fades into nothing next to her growing attraction to the man. It hardly seems fair that, the one time she meets somebody who might be able to steal her heart, she is stuck in a pair of breeches and looking like a street urchin!
But the situation changes when his lordship discovers her secret and realizes the boy he has come to trust is actually female and has been lying to him all along. And worse still, he cannot keep his hands off the lady. Caprice can tolerate being Lord Merridew’s servant but she cannot abide his displeasure and is desperate to explain her circumstances.
Can Caprice come about? Or will she find that this time, bold deeds and a headstrong manner cannot save the day…
