Emma Dunster- a young, wealthy miss from America, is sent to London to spend the Season with her relatives. Bored with being a lady, she borrows her maid's uniform and goes to the market for eggs where...she saves a young boy from being run over and meets The Duke of Ashbourne. He declares that she is not just beautiful, she is splendid (sigh )

The rest I will let you discover for yourself.

Is a must read in the Historical Romance genre.

This was Julia Quinn's first published romance with Avon. It is not as polished as her later works, but it still contains that fresh and witty dialogue that she is so well known for. Give it a try.
