The Earl of Tredair had his fill of balls, routs, and silly misses, and he despaired of finding anyone out of the extraordinary - that is, until he met Miss Fanny Waverley.
Most unique and intriguing, she and her two sisters were the adopted daughters of the reclusive bluestocking Madame Waverley. They had been raised as her disciples to spread the word of women’s rights and to encourage poor oppressed females to stand up against the iniquities of the male sex!
The beautiful and farouche Miss Fanny, however, found it quite hard to think of all men as cruel and lustful beasts - how could she when now she found herself longing to kiss one of the most hated of his breed!
ABOUT THE SERIES
Waverly women pursue their aspirations no matter what the obstacle. They may marry if the cause seems to suit the purpose or they may flirt until their heart is content, or, perhaps until the gentleman who has until then proven to be the most elusive of all is clearly within reach. No matter what the obstacle, none is too big for a Waverly woman. These are books of dreams, lessons, fanciful thoughts, and most of all, tales of girls grown now to women who won’t settle for anything less than their full dream, impossible as it may seem at the outset.
