He’ll make sure she’s safe and then find a suitable lady with whom to fall in love. But when rules (and garments) become discarded during this long, intimate journey, it’s soon clear this surprisingly daring lady is the woman he’s needed all along. Still, he makes a bargain with Ida - he won’t desert her during her mad adventure. Lord Carson’s plans had always been to find a soft, gentle wife who would run his home and raise his children. Then she discovers she’s not alone! Bennett, Lord Carson, is inside, and he refuses to leave. Both Bennett, Lord Carson, and Lady Ida Howlett chafe against their prescribed 19th-century roles and the sudden pressure to find suitably advantageous spouses. But little did they know that behind a calm exterior beats the heart of an adventuress, one who, determined to discover her runaway sister’s whereabouts, steals a carriage and sets off on a daring mission. Amiable leads and clever dialogue mitigate the predictable plot of Frampton's third Duke's Daughters Victorian romance (after Lady Be Reckless). It was easy for society to overlook Lady Ida Howlett they found her bookish, opinionated, and off the marriage mart. Now the duke of Marymount’s daughter Ida is about to find love in the most unconventional way. Five well-bred sisters, one sensational scandal.
