No young lady was more devoted to the teachings of that infamous bluestocking Mrs. Waverley than her adopted daughter Felicity. Unlike her mentor, she vowed to stay unmarried and true to the cause. In fact, she was the secret author of a scandalous new novel—the tale of a lady "rake" and her romantic exploits. Unfortunately, there was one titled gentleman who learned her identity and grew intrigued with the headstrong young lady who was taking the ton by storm. With the handsome Marquess of Darkwater spurring her on, Felicity would soon learn that real life could be infinitely more interesting than mere fiction.
