They were dismissed as hopeless—girls too plain, too shy,
too gauche to stand any chance in the ruthless competition
of the London season. But Helene Fitzgerald, Madelene
Valmeyer, and Adele Edmundson have no intention of remaining
wallflowers. Aided by the notorious novelist, Deborah
Sewell, they form the Wallflower Pact and set out to find
true love for themselves—and maybe even their chaperone.
The Stepsister’s Triumph
Madelene Valemeyer has never felt welcome in her father’s
house. The daughter of his first wife, she will be one of
the richest heiresses in England when she turns twenty-five.
But for now, Madelene is just a miserably shy girl,
tormented mercilessly by her stepmother and three
half-siblings. Nearly unable to function socially, Madelene
certainly can’t see that Benedict Pelham, the artistic son
of a marquis, is falling in love with her.
Benedict Pelham hates London society, blaming its endless
seductions for the death of his brilliant first wife. But in
quiet, beautiful Madelene, Benedict believes he's finally
found his chance to begin life again.
Madelene, though, is done being quiet. With the help of her
friends and fellow wallflowers, she is preparing to
transform from shy mouse to brilliant Miss. But social
success has a high price—is Madelene prepared to pay with
her heart?
