About Caroline

Forthright, sensible, attractive Caroline Draper. How could she have gone through two London seasons to no avail? Lovely Caroline, with her sparkling brown eyes and soft brown hair, thought herself well on her way to spinsterhood! Her mother scolded that she was too particular -- and truly Caroline did despair of ever finding a man she could love. When she met the handsome Earl of Cannock, who was quite dashing and considered extremely eligible, "fussy" Caroline found him cold and arrogant-and far too sure of his charms. She vowed to teach him a lesson. But it was Caroline who ended up learning the most.
