What this book is about

Frederica Merriville is the capable, sensible older sister who has managed her family for years. She petitions the marquis—a distant cousin—for help launching her younger sister. Alverstoke, bored with everything, is fascinated against his will. Frederica is often recommended as the perfect Heyer starter for its warmth and the Charis-vs.-Frederica comparison.
