A Lady Never Tells

  • customer reviews

Meet three noble bachelors and a quartet of American girls of questionable manners! New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp delights with an exciting new series featuring love, laughter, and intrigue.

When Mary Bascombe’s stepfather tries to sell her and her sisters to the highest bidder after their mother’s death, she resolves to take drastic action. Although their British mother was estranged from her family, Mary decides the four will flee to London and take their place in society as granddaughters of the Earl of Stewkesbury.

Dashing Sir Royce Winslow doubts the honesty of the young women’s claim—despite their charms, they seem to be hiding something. His attraction to feisty Mary, however, is no ruse, so when the sisters are shipped off to Willowmere, the earl’s country estate, to acquire some polish, Royce is quick to join them. When an unknown villain attempts a kidnapping, Royce and Mary are thrown together as they confront the danger . . . and Royce learns that while high society may sing the praises of proper behavior, it is a most improper American who is winning his heart.

Q. how did you come to write A Lady Never Tells?

A. This was the first of my first trilogy for Pocket Books.  I wanted to have a strong carry-through for all three books. I thought of several things, but then one day the idea popped into my head of a set of three Regency bachelors having a group of unmanageable American girls of marriageable age dumped on them without warning.  I liked it and worked on it. Then as I was driving home from the grocery store one day, the idea for the girls' names came to me, and somehow it just enabled me to see the girls and their mother and the basic set-up for their lives.  Then I was off and running.
