It’s the earl’s duty to serve as guardian, even though he doesn’t feel enthusiastic about taking on the responsibility. But when he finds out that Freddie is actually Frederica, the situation becomes intolerable.Freddie, the product of an unconventional childhood, is soon sent away to a seminary for young ladies—at the suggestion of Lady Clarissa, who secretly wants the earl all to herself. But Freddie intends to escape the awful institution, and what follows will surprise the earl even more than discovering his ward’s true identityOriginally published under the name Marion Chesney, this Regency romp comes from the New York Times–bestselling author who “deftly blends humor and adventure” (Booklist).
