Part of Series

A rebellious debutante who needs to make a good marriage – fast! Her peagoose of a sister whose peccadilloes threaten the family name. And a handsome, eligible viscount who needs to avert scandal if he’s to win his true love. Get ready for a wild ride as Fanny and Antoinette Brightwell make rags-to-riches marriages in Book One of the Scandalous Miss Brightwells series! When Fanny’s ambitious mother offers her beautiful, intelligent daughter’s hand in marriage to odious Lord Slyther, a desperate Fanny disguises herself and, during a secret visit to Vauxhall Gardens, meets the devilishly dashing – and responsive – Lord Fenton. However, convincing the naughty nobleman that she would make the perfect wife requires a lot of cunning and a deft touch. With a spurned suitor intent on revenge and a feckless sister more interested in fun and flirtation, Fanny must appear the demure debutante that Fenton – or, rather, his exacting mama - requires. Will Fanny succeed or will Antoinette ruin both their reputations? Grab your smelling salts and find out! A steamy, humorous matchmaking Regency Romance. What the readers ★★★★★ "What a splendid book!

A good light-hearted read." ~ Amazon reader ★★★★★ "A fast-paced story, filled with humour, sexual attraction, love and desperation. The first in a series of novels set in a time when chastity and honour were everything." ~ Amazon reader.
