The answer is found in the handsome person of Sir Charles Digby, returned from the Napoleonic Wars and startled to learn he is the cause of Delilah's single state, but eager to remedy it.

This review is from: Enlightening Delilah (The School for Manners, Book 3) (Hardcover)

If only Sir Charles Digby hadn't kissed her, perhaps Delilah Wraxall would not be in the spiteful habit of declining so many marriage proposals. In that one impassioned kiss, she had learned the enchantment of true love-and the fury of a woman scorned when Sir Charles vanished without an explanation. Now she breaks hearts with glee, wreaking havoc amongst the surplus of suitors vying for her hand-and driving her father to desperate measures. the only hope for his flirtatious daughter rests in the capable hands of Amy and Effy Tribble and their reputable School for Manners. but subduing Delilah proves a monumental challenge. For as she steps into London's social limelight, she's concocted a plan to pique Sir Vharles' jealousy. And she's already got the season's most roguish bachelor wrapped around her little finger... This book would have been better if there was more to the story. 165 pages isn't enough to bring out a good story.
