A Sparkling Affair by Mary Chase Comstock (Softcover)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Description from the book back cover: An impetuous heroine ... They were really too wretched, sighed Lady Selinda. She had never dreamed that the aunts who had taken her and her younger sister in after their parents' death would turn out to be such gorgons! It was a most difficult task indeed acting the part of a docile young miss when Selinda dreamed of living the life of one of the heroines in the penny romance novels she secretly read. And so it was with a start of surprise that she met the very handsome Lord Waverly whose dark blue eyes and golden hair made him seem the perfect hero. Surely he could teach her about the mysteries of romance and love ... A perfect hero .. Known for his peculiar brand of wit and eccentric behavior, Lord Waverly found pleasure in continually confounding the ton. What was not nearly so delightful, however, was the bevy of society mamas bent on marrying off their daughters to an eligible bachelor of good fortune. Roland longed for a female with some spirit and was thus quite pleased to make the acquaintance of the charming Lady Harroweby. She seemed a shy sort upon first meeting, but Roland decided there was much more to this young lady than met the eye. With her sparkling smile and lovely face she had caught his interest - and now it seemed she had captured his heart!
