A Regency–set historical romance, with wonderful emotion, adventure, and humour. When Eleanor Tennant was called to look after her niece Belinda, she swore she'd help her find the perfect suitor. Unfortunately, Belinda prefers the attentions of Geoffrey Barkwith, a handsome, notorious rake with an unsavoury reputation. In a letter to an advice columnist for The Ladies Fashionable Cabinet, Belinda asks the woman – should she go after her heart's desire; Her response is yes! Eleanor, furious with this advice, goes in search of the mysterious Busybody. She finds out that the wretched woman giving such public encouragement is not a woman at all, but a man!
