Lady Alice never wanted a daughter; indeed, her marriage turned out to be a severe disappointment in many respects. So when her husband was killed in a riding accident, she was quick to sell the country estate that he and daughter Priscilla had loved, send the bereft eight year-old girl away to school, and remove herself to London and into the "whirl of Society." Now Miss Simpkins' Seminary for Young Ladies has closed, and Lady Alice must take in the daughter she never loved and forces the now 22-year-old to pose as her "secretary" so her newest beau won't guess her age, but the beau seems more attracted to the "secretary."
Characters:
Mr. Sean O'Rourke and Miss Priscilla Holladay
