Victoria and the Rogue

the long version

Capturing all the famous, girly gleefulness of the Princess Diaries, Meg Cabot turns her eye to historical romance. Nicola Sparks, sixteen and an orphan, is ready to dive headlong into her first London Season. A whirlwind of fashionable activities awaits her, although nabbing a husband, ordinarily the prime object of every girl’s Season, is not among them. For Nicola has already chosen hers: a handsome viscount by the name of Lord Sebastian. Everything is going well, until the infuriating Nathaniel Sheridan begins to cast doubt on the viscount’s character. Nicola is convinced Nathaniel’s efforts will yield nothing. But when she begins to piece things together for herself, the truth that is revealed has as much to do with the viscount as it does with Nicola’s own heart.
