Lady Mimolette Lindsey harbors a secret which leads her to refuse any requests for a dance. This isn't because her late father, the Earl of Bathmorris, named all his children after French cheeses.

Her secret simply makes it even more difficult to find husbands for her younger sisters, Treccia and Ovolina. Like the Lindsey sisters, any number of hopefuls attend the Season's events. Any number are labeled wallflowers, rarely asked to dance, with little opportunity for romance.

Revenge for the passing snubs of coxcombs and bucks also figures into her scheme.

The warnings only pique Tremaine's curiosity, the most intriguing sport he's come across since returning home. He fenagles an introduction, though he must bribe his best friend to approach the lady. He grins, anticipating the fun he will have uncovering this incognita's machinations.

They call them the Weatherby Wallflowers… After her mother's death, Eleanor Weatherby has had a hard enough time shepherding her three younger sisters through the world and running her father's household on a shoestring budget.

Their only chance… Eleanor somehow manages to secure an invitation to the Countess of Milthorpe's house party, which buys them two weeks of shelter.

If Pippa can bring Felix up to scratch, it will draw them back from the brink of destitution. The man standing in their way… There's only one problem-Jasper St. James, the Duke of Norwood. He immediately marked Pippa as an upstart miss who was only after his brother's fortune. Jasper vows that he won't let Felix out of his sight. But at every turn he is foiled by Eleanor Weatherby, who seems as determined to promote the match as Jasper is to prevent it. As Jasper and Eleanor match wits, he discovers that she is impertinent, imperious… and impossible to resist. It turns out that sparring with a headstrong wallflower is more to this stern duke's taste than the milquetoast maidens he was considering for his bride at the start of the house party. Maybe one of the Weatherby Wallflowers will be marrying into the St. James family after all… if Jasper hasn't already ruined everything.
