Then her mother's friend, Lady Dalmare, invites her to London for the Season. Fredericka makes a hit with the ton, but her independent ways lead her into scrapes. Lord Satterwaite is attracted to Fredericka but he swiftly discovers that she isn't a milk-and-toast miss. She is maddening, outrageous and adorable. Not at all the sort of lady who will make a respectable, comfortable wife.
