The Suitor List - Gentlemen of Worth
Lady Augusta Worth, eldest daughter of the Duke of Faraday, will not settle for anything less than love. When she arrives in London late in the Season,
she has high hopes of making a match. She has already attracted a long list of potential suitors, all of whom have noteworthy prospects. To help in making the difficult decision, she invites them all to a Country House party just after the Season's end.
But before any future husband of Lady Augusta's can approach for her hand, he must also gain the approval of her family. And that may prove to be more difficult than expected, as one by one, whether self-implicated, aided by another, or by sheer circumstance, each of her suitors discredit themselves.
It will take a true Gentleman of Worth to capture Lady Augusta's heart.
Lady Catherine's Coil
Exiled to the country after a disastrous Season, Lady Catherine Jessup finds life at Grimshaw Court far more agreeable than the horrid Marriage Mart of London. Kate allows her companion to step into the shoes of “Lady Catherine” while she pursues the idle life, enjoying her pursuits of reading, drawing, and dreaming of a carefree life.
Lord Stephen Emerson seeks the refuge of his uncle’s country house to escape his marriage-minded mother’s matchmaking ways until he can safely return to University. The bucolic setting allows Stephen to spend the days pursuing sports, long after-dinner promenades, and reading in the evenings. The last thing he wants is to be dragged into a gaggle of females in search of husbands.
The imminent arrival of Kate's guardian threatens to expose her masquerade. Does his presence bring her game to an end, making her an outcast, or provide a catalyst for dreams realized, and will true love follow?
