What to expect

She’s poised to conquer. He’s in hiding, chased by too many women. Can love penetrate his dense disguise?

Summer 1805. Now that Frances Barstow is twenty, her benefactress decides it is time for her to marry and has even chosen her a suitable bachelor. The only problem? He’s as slow-witted and vacuous as he is handsome! Not a match for the clever Frances.

With no pressing interest in marriage, Adam Hearne was willing to help his friend shine by comparison, even if it meant pretending to be a dunce less interesting than most vegetables.

But when a house party’s amateur theatricals throw Frances and Adam together, will their play within a play reveal their hearts before the curtain rings down?

Frances Sets the Fashion is a sweet Regency romance, fourth in the Lord Dere’s Dependents series. Each book can be read as a standalone or in order.
