Lady Barbara

the long version

She simply must set everything to rights -- though she'll kick up quite a fuss to do it! Lady Barbara Saunders -- or Lady Bee as the saucy minx was affectionately called -- could only regard Lord John Connwood and sigh. Such a fine man... yet promised to another. As she was barely out of the schoolroom and had not yet a Season in London, Bee reasoned he was quite beyond her reach. Yet she couldn't stand by and watch him marry for convenience a lady she suspected of dubious virtue. She never dreamed of the intrigue, peril, and (dare she hope!) love that awaited in her grand design to undo such a grave mismatch!
