About this ebook

Fleur Toogood is beautiful, opinionated and has a
disastrous inclination to speak her mind. And she
refuses to marry without love. But as the most eligible
of Reverend Toogood’s five daughters, she has been
charged with making a brilliant match that will improve
her family’s fortune. So to appease her father, she agrees
to be escorted around London by Lord Dominic Elliot.


But Lord Dominic proves to be a most arrogant and
secretive chaperon. He takes his duties toward her very
seriously, though he shows little interest in her otherwise.
Worse, he insists on giving the most annoying advice—advice she doesn’t need because she has devised The List,
questions designed to assess a male’s potential as a
satisfactory husband, knowing no man can meet her
high standards. But as she is introduced to one eligible
gentleman after another, it becomes painfully clear—the only man who scores high enough to interest her
is Dominic himself.

Ratings and reviews

Fun story and glad characters from first book were still growing in this one. Can't wait to read Nathan's story.

About the author

Stella Cameron was born and raised on the southern coast of England where she met her American husband at a party in London. After their marriage, she left England and went with husband Jerry to Washington State to make a home and raise a family. Like many authors, Stella began her literary career as a reader. As a young girl, Stella was a self-professed reading "addict", devouring all types of literature. She learned very early to retreat from the demands of others into a gentler world -- her own. As a child and a young adult, books saved her because they helped free her while they entertained her. Her love of reading always went side-by-side with her love of writing. Nineteenth-century author Jane Austen was a particular favorite, and Stella admits that she particularly enjoys reading and writing books set in the 1800s, as well as contemporary novels. In 1980, Stella decided she wanted to write professionally. She attended writing classes and wrote short literary fiction for a year. It was during this period that Stella discovered how well-written and intense romantic fiction could be. Using her newly acquired writing skills, she began to write contemporary romantic fiction for Harlequin Americans and Intrigues. After several years, she moved up to Harlequin SuperRomances. In 1992, she made the switch to single titles with her first historical, Only By Your Touch. She has also authored a series entitled Rossmara Quartet along with several other romance titles. Stella Cameron sees herself as an entertainer and historian who adds her perspective to contemporary values through writing.
