Gilding the Lady

I always enjoy Nicole Byrd's books. This one takes the long lost sister of the hero of her previous book, who'd ended up in a nasty orphanage & then sent out to work at a young age--lots of abuse, etc. Her brother finally found her & rescued her in the last book, & now, at 19, she's got to try to re-learn how to be a lady. A reckless earl sees her in a dispute with her governess on the street, & his friend bets him that he can't make her the toast of the ton. There's also a murder mystery & the ongoing search for the natural father of the heroine from the previous book & her brother (hero of a yet earlier book). Really nice series, and by the end of this book, we've picked up several more connections who are begging for their own show more books. show less
