To save her family from financial ruin, Miss Poppy Garrison
accepts an unusual proposition to participate in the New York
social season in exchange for her grandmother settling a family
loan that has unexpectedly come due. Ill-equipped to handle the
intricacies of mingling within the New York Four Hundred, Poppy
becomes embroiled in one hilarious fiasco after another, doomed to
suffer a grand societal failure instead of being deemed the diamond
of the first water her grandmother longs for her to become.
Reginald Blackburn, second son of a duke, has been forced to travel
to America to help his cousin, Charles Wynn, Earl of Lonsdale, find
an American heiress to wed in order to shore up his family estate
that is in desperate need of funds. Reginald himself has no
interest in finding an heiress to marry, but when Poppy's
grandmother asks him to give etiquette lessons to Poppy, he swiftly
discovers he may be in for much more than he bargained for.
"Historical details provide a rich environment for Izzie's
humorous household exploits, and the matchmaking attempts by the
children and aunt add another layer to Turano's delightful romance,
the kickoff for her American Heiresses series."--Booklist on
Flights of Fancy
When Miss Poppy Garrison
accepts her grandmother's offer of financial help for her family in
exchange for Poppy joining the New York social Season, she quickly
realizes she is far less equipped to mingle with the New York Four
Hundred than even she knew. As she becomes embroiled in one
hilarious fiasco after another, becoming the diamond of the first
water her grandmother longs her to be looks more impossible by the
day.
Reginald Blackburn, second son of a duke, is in New York to help
his cousin find an American heiress who can help save his family's
estate. But when his very proper British manners lead Poppy's
grandmother to request he teach etiquette to Poppy, he quickly
finds himself in for much more than he bargained for.
And while they couldn't be more opposite, Reginald and Poppy just
might find they have more to teach each other than they ever could
have expected.
"Set in 1885, this fun second installment of Turano's Heiresses
series (after Flights of Fancy) introduces heiress Poppy
Montgomery . . . . Series fans will enjoy this delightful
romance."--Publishers Weekly
"The juxtaposition of the wealth of the New York 400 and the lives
of those struggling to survive in the city provides a memorable
backdrop to this combination fish-out-of-water and
opposites-attract romantic comedy. . . . The strength of both main
and minor characters shines brightly in Turano's fun
romp."--Booklist
