Lord Henry Seldon's is ready to kill his nephew. Preston
placed an advertisement in the paper for a wife for his
uncle. Preston is already engaged and his friends decide
that inundating Lord Henry with answers will be amusing.
Faced with hundreds of letters from pathetic women and his
sister's insistence that he answer them all, Lord Henry
little expects to continue a correspondence with one of the
women. They plan to meet in London.
Miss Daphne Dale can't wait to meet Mr. Dishforth. They
have been corresponding for six weeks and they seem to be
perfectly suited. Their letters have given them the
opportunity to know each other more intimately than just
meeting at parties and balls in London.
However, all her efforts just keep bringing her into contact
with Lord Henry. The Seldon and Dale families have been
feuding for generations. The more the two of them try to
avoid each other, the more often they find themselves in
each others company.
Daphne's best friend is marrying Preston. Putting aside her
family loyalty, she attends the houseparty celebrating the
engagement, putting herself into even closer contact with
Lord Henry.
Ms. Boyle's writing is always a pleasure to read. She has a
knack for creating engaging and entertaining stories with
just the right amount of romance. Her characters are always
likable. For a nicely romantic story and a light-hearted
story, be sure to pick up AND THE MISS RAN AWAY WITH THE RAKE.
Miss Daphne Dale is a practical young lady with no illusions of romance––until she answers an advertisement by a "sensible gentleman looking for a sensible lady." Convinced she fits the bill, she begins a romantic exchange with "Mr. Dishforth." Meanwhile, as she helps her best friend, Tabitha Timmons prepare for her wedding to the Duke of Preston, she is constantly thrown into the company of Lord Henry Seldon, the duke's uncle. The two of them clash constantly, all the while discovering a passionate connection that makes no sense. Lord Henry Seldon is not amused when Preston put a joke of an advertisement in the paper calling for a sensible wife for Henry. And when letters start pouring in, he is furious. That is, until one note catches his eye–a chiding scold from a "Miss Spooner." But when Henry discovers that his correspondence is with none other than Miss Daphne Dale, he doesn't know whether to flee to the continent or take the passionate and infuriating minx with him.
