Henrietta

by M. C. Beaton

Overview

A spirited spinster takes aim at a prized bachelor in this Edwardian romance by the New York Times–bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries.

Even the inhabitants of secluded Nethercote look pityingly upon young Henrietta, the Vicar’s sister; her plain features seem to almost guarantee her a solitary future. And yet, she has a determined spirit and magnificent hazel eyes. So when her Great-Aunt Hester leaves her unexpected wealth, Henrietta sets out to conquer London’s glittering high society and confound them all. But the fashionable elite are less than warm in their reception, especially when the newcomer, this bold minx, makes clear her intention of winning the heart of one of society’s most treasured gems: the irresistible, extravagant, heart-stopping Lord Beau Reckford, a prize wildly beyond her humble origins…
