**
Meet three noble bachelors and a quartet of American girls of
questionable manners! New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp
delights with an exciting new series featuring love, laughter, and
intrigue.**
When Mary Bascombe's stepfather tries to sell her and her sisters to the
highest bidder after their mother's death, she resolves to take drastic
action. Although their British mother was estranged from her family,
Mary decides the four will flee to London and take their place in
society as granddaughters of the Earl of Stewkesbury.
Dashing Sir Royce Winslow doubts the honesty of the young women's
claim--despite their charms, they seem to be hiding something. His
attraction to feisty Mary, however, is no ruse, so when the sisters are
shipped off to Willowmere, the earl's country estate, to acquire some
polish, Royce is quick to join them. When an unknown villain attempts a
kidnapping, Royce and Mary are thrown together as they confront the
danger . . . and Royce learns that while high society may sing the
praises of proper behavior, it is a most improper American who is
winning his heart.
