Description
In this Regency romance by the bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries, a Scottish heiress has a way with men that drives them...away.
Amy and Effie Tribble make their living refining difficult, spoiled, and awkward young women into prime marriage material. But they are rather perplexed by their latest client, Scottish heiress Fiona McCloud. Beautiful, demure, and refined, Fiona has received several offers of marriage, but after each suitor is left alone with the girl, they flee, never to be seen again. It turns out she's an incurable flirt. Helping her out will be quite the challenge for the Tribble sisters, but with Fiona drawing attention from the son of a duke, perhaps Amy and Effie won't need to worry...
