When frigate Captain Buckingham Kernow-Smith encounters a sprite in a topiary garden going by the name of “Gannymede,” he remembers his Shakespeare. Pulling off her stocking cap, he reveals the character of “Rosalind” from As You Like It, played, in this case, by the appealing Fanny Edwards. Three years pass. The War over, Buck encounters his Rosalind at a ball, where she has developed into a notable beauty. However, her guardian confides to him that she is dancing on the very edge of propriety. Buck, who has been fighting the French since he was twelve, also finds the ton confining and sympathizes with Fanny/Rosalind’s plight as a properly reared young lady. Together, they make a dangerous pair, toeing the line of propriety and scandal, indulging in a masquerade in daylight, riding together in a phaeton race, and laying plans for Fanny/Rosalind to play a role in Covent Garden Theater. When they push their fun too far, Fanny faces ruin and the demimonde. Will Buck confide his secrets and overcome his life-long aversion to marriage in time to save his fair Rosalind and live happily ever after? Can there be a happily ever after for someone as headstrong and impetuous as Rosalind? "Regency romance in the style of Austen and Heyer. Love as it's meant to be written!"--InDtale Magazine "Another Regency delight from G.G. Vandagriff!" --Meridian Magazine "Vandagriff's Regency Austen-esque romance is perfect for any reader who loves a good old-fashioned romance and can enoy the journey of two people learning not to fear love while learning how to have faith in each other." --Deseret News This is the beginning of a new Regency trilogy, however, Rosalind is living with her sister, Elise and her husband, Ruisdell (from the Duke's Undoing). She also has more than a passing acquaintance with Caro and Ned (from Miss Braithwaite's secret). It is a stand alone, however, and the previous books need not be read first. Also, this is a book suitable for a book club. My editor, Susan Gottfried, made up a list of questions that can be found on my website: ggvandagriff.com/bookclubs/ G. G.
