About the book
Cressida Chalcot is determined to find a wealthy husband for her feather-brained but beautiful sister Daphne and hopes to turn to their aunt in Bath for help. Even as her plans develop though, and as she turns her dressmaking talents to good use, she is dogged by continual run-ins with handsome Lord Rushton who wants his ward to stay away from Daphne. Rushton meanwhile cannot understand why every time he sees the beautiful but stubborn Cressida that he can’t help but want to kiss her.
