Sophy Hadlow does not wanted to return for another London Season. Her own debut into Society was marred by her self-consciousness about her excessive height and her cringing embarrassment every time she was announced as 'The Lady Sophronia Hadlow'. Yet, much to her dismay, Sophy is back in London to oversee the debut of her youngest sister and their wild cousin, Susan Tyneham, who risks ruining both her own and her innocent cousin's chances of marriage.

Sophy, a most reluctant, novice chaperone, is left to guide her sister and attempt to keep Susan from complete disaster, all whilst dealing with her own unexpected feelings for the roguish Lord Rothley.

Sophia Holloway read Modern History at Oxford and also writes the Bradecote and Catchpoll medieval mysteries as Sarah Hawkswood.
