SAVERY, JEANNE — An Acceptable Arrangement

New York, Zebra Books. 2004, 1st Pbk Edition. (ISBN: 0821776096) Pbk. Book, At twenty-four, Miss Phillida Morgan is comfortable in her spinsterhood. Yet if she must wed, she intends to choose well. Alas, most of the ton's candidates are bores, poseurs, or both. So Phillida enlists her abigail's assistance, for who better to gauge a man's character than his servants? But her strategy flies out the window when she encounters handsome Lucas Strathedene, a legendary rake who is definitely not marriage material. If only he weren't possessed of a delicious wit. If only she could remain sensible and rein in her runaway heart. Fine.
