When a spirited and resourceful young woman descends on her relatives' London household, she's armed with nothing but confidence, charm, and an uncanny ability to solve everyone's problems—whether they asked for it or not. Her cousins are grateful for her meddling, but the dangerously attractive heir of the family is absolutely not amused by her interference in his orderly life. As Sophy navigates matchmaking schemes, scandals, and her own increasingly complicated feelings, she discovers that the man most resistant to her charms might just be the one who understands her best. Pure Regency delight with a heroine who refuses to play by the rules and a hero who can't resist her even while pretending to be thoroughly exasperated.
