Victoria Malvey – författare

A daring lady turns English propriety on its ear in Victoria Malvey''s witty and delightful novel of love''s surprising twists. Once a connoisseur of beautiful debutantes, Lord Bryce Keene now has more practical concerns as guardian to his headstrong niece. The girl needs the influence of a true and gentle lady...and so Bryce selects Cassandra Hampsted, known as an expert on the rules of polite society, to offer his hand in marriage. But Bryce is about to discover that not all is as it appears. Since penning an etiquette book for young ladies, Cassandra has learned that happy endings are not guaranteed -- even for those who follow society''s rules to perfection. Lord Bryce''s offer is enticing indeed, but Cassandra will not risk her heart without concocting fifty-six provisions for marital harmony that Bryce will wish he had read in full! As this strong-willed couple barters and negotiates their way to true happiness, they uncover a blissful union that is far too passionate to be called proper.

Victoria Malvey requests the honor of your presence... at a madcap, merry celebration of love''s unpredictable ways! Two sisters have promised their father that both will marry...or neither will: Elizabeth Everley, shy and serious, endured a disastrous first Season, and she dreads being a wallflower forever. Catherine Everley, a starry-eyed optimist, dreams of marrying a handsome Prince Charming. But first she must find a husband for Elizabeth. Each of two noble brothers believes the other should take a wife: John Vernon, the Marquess of Wykham, is a solemn gentleman; his younger brother, Richard, is lively and outrageous. When Catherine picks John as her sister''s perfect match, it is just the beginning of a wild romp of mistaken intentions and matchmaking schemes gone scandalously, hilariously awry. At the end of this unforgettable Season, there will indeed be a wedding -- but who exactly will marry whom?
