So this was London!
Miss Henrietta Sandford cowered in the corner of the carriage and fervently wished that she had never left the quiet county town of Nethercote to answer the mysterious summons she had received only that morning. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) | |

GROOMING THE GROOM
In Nethercote, it was universally agreed that Henrietta, the Vicar's sister, was a hopeless spinster. Yet no one could deny that she possessed a magnificent pair of hazel eyes--and a high-stepping spirit.
So when Aunt Hester willed her an unexpected fortune, plucky Henrietta set out to take the fashionable world by storm. But, all aglitter for the Season, London society scoffed at the green girl in its midst. Especially when the bold country minx announced tier intention to wed its most prized bachelor, the irresistibly roguish, delectably heartbreaking Beau Reckford himself. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) | |
