Description
Arabella’s one little while lie has spread through the ton like wildfire\\u2026
Arabella Tallant, modest daughter of a country clergyman, is on her way to her first London Season when her carriage breaks down outside the estate of the wealthy and bored Mr. Robert Beaumaris. Beau assumes she’s simply another young lady throwing herself in his path, which goads the impetuous Arabella into pretending she’s an heiress.
Much to Arabella’s dismay, rather than being brutally set-down, as she intended, Beaumaris is deeply amused. He counters by launching her into high society, which Arabella would enjoy very much if it wasn’t for the fortune hunters.
Arabella’s unpredictable and innocent ways force Beaumaris to start helping others, including a stray dog, an unfortunate urchin, and eventually Arabella’s reckless young brother. Along the way, Arabella and Beaumaris become more and more intrigued with each other\\u2014which neither will admit, of course, until under extreme duress.
