Silken Bonds

MODERN NOTIONS WERE ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT WHERE DID ONE FIND A MAN TO SHARE THEM?

Though Frederica chafed at the restricted life she lived as the adopted daughter of the infamous bluestocking Mrs. Waverley, she did agree with her philosophy. Until men stopped preferring lisping ninnyhammers over intellectual equals, Frederica was better off without them.

But the recent elopement of her sister, Fanny, had sparked the fires of romance in Frederica's well- educated head. She was ripe for the innumerable charms of Lord Harry Danger, who was smitten by her outspoken beauty from the moment he rescued her from a pack of drunken thugs.

Now if he would only treat her as an equal -- and stop that incessant flirting!

Hero: Lord Harry Danger
Heroine: Frederica Waverley
