Twice Shy, Paperback

After her heartbreaking first Season, Elizabeth Ashling resolved to avoid London Society - and matrimony - completely. However, family obligations mean that Elizabeth is thrust back into society where she faces an overzealous poet, a bitter rival and, most awkwardly, the man who jilted her three years before.

Sir Lucius Radstock, dry, dashing and as devoted to horses as Elizabeth herself, is a welcome diversion. But as their acquaintance deepens, Elizabeth begins to suspect she may have judged too hastily. Although surely her second Season cannot rival the misfortunes of the first .
