Lady Victoria Aston, obsessed with Jane Austen and content to stay home, is suddenly expected to enter society and find a husband, preferably one who cares for her more than her dowry.

Dangerous Alliance

My Fine Fellow

Un'alleanza pericolosa

Lady Victoria Aston ha tutto ciò che potrebbe desiderare: una sorella maggiore felicemente sposata, il futuro della proprietà di famiglia assicurato, e la possibilità di perdere tempo gironzolando nei campi attorno a casa. Ma basta una notte per sconvolgere definitivamente la sua vita comoda e idilliaca. Suo cognato si rivela infatti un terribile mascalzone e adesso tocca a lei trovare un marito, o la sua famiglia perderà tutto. Armata solo di quello che ha imparato dai romanzi di Jane Austen, Vicky fa il suo debutto in società: ma nemmeno le parole della scrittrice sono in grado di aiutarla a capire se il meraviglioso e astuto signor Carmichael sia in realtà una canaglia; se il suo ex migliore amico, il bellissimo Tom Sherborne, sia più interessato alla sua dote o al suo cuore; né sono in grado di aiutarla a liberarsi delle attenzioni del lezioso signor Silby. Soprattutto, nei libri di Vicky non c'è nulla riguardo gli strani incidenti che iniziano a capitare attorno a lei. E che potrebbero non farla arrivare viva al giorno delle nozze.

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue meets Jane Austen in this witty, winking historical romance with a dash of mystery! Lady Victoria Aston has everything she could want: an older sister happily wed, the future of her family estate secure, and ample opportunity to while her time away in the fields around her home. But now Vicky must marry--or find herself and her family destitute. Armed only with the wisdom she has gained from her beloved novels by Jane Austen, she enters society's treacherous season. Sadly, Miss Austen has little to say about Vicky's exact circumstances: whether the roguish Mr. Carmichael is indeed a scoundrel, if her former best friend, Tom Sherborne, is out for her dowry or for her heart, or even how to fend off the attentions of the foppish Mr. Silby, he of the unfortunate fashion sensibility. Most unfortunately of all, Vicky's books are silent on the topic of the mysterious accidents cropping up around her...ones that could prevent her from surviving until her wedding day.
