About this ebook

After her father lost the family's fortune, Wilhelmina was cast out of the fashionable set and banished to the wallflower section. Taking a position as a social secretary to help support her family, she's mostly come to terms with her new status. But when her old friend Edgar returns to New York society for the first time since she rejected his marriage proposal, she's newly ashamed at how far she's fallen--and how hastily she dismissed him years ago. Her strategy is to avoid a face-to-face encounter at all costs, but he seems to have other plans. Will Edgar take advantage of their now reversed positions and make her regret her refusal, or is there still hope for a friendship between them--or something more?

At Your Request is an e-only novella that gives an exciting introduction to Jen Turano's new Gilded Age historical romance series, Apart From the Crowd! Includes an extended excerpt of the first full-length novel in the series, Behind the Scenes.

Ratings and reviews

What a delightful read! I would not expect anything less from Jen Turano. She is in my top five favorite authors. Anything she writes, I want to read. She has such a wonderful way of taking you in from the first few pages, and you find yourself on a lovely adventure. She has such a quirky wit, or should I say great wit with quirky characters. Either way I find myself laughing out loud. I would just love to be a fly on the wall when Miss Wilhelmina Radcliff and Mr. Edgar Wanamaker meet again after years of separation. If I have one negative thing to say, it was too short, I wanted more. I know it was a novella so it was meant to be short. What a good start to a great series.

A good with wonderful characters and storyline. Yes, I would recommend this book to others.

I enjoyed the characters and personalities in this book. I look forward to reading more books about the wallflowers and learning their stories.
