About this ebook
The eleventh book in M.C. Beaton's charming Edwardian Candlelight series.
It's a maiden's miracle! Annabelle Quennell, daughter of a poor country parson, gets a chance at a London Season to snare a wealthy husband. But before she sets off, Mad Meg the Gypsy predicts trouble ahead! And it is nothing but woe that Annabelle finds.
Godmother Lady Emmeline sponsors Annabelle's spree - and demands she wed the oafish Captain MacDonald. But things get worse when Annabelle fears she is losing her heart to Lord Varleigh - elegant, well-pursed, but who is taken by another mistress! What a pickle Annabelle had gotten into, and it only gets more sour by the moment!
The Edwardian Candlelight Series chronicles young, passionate girls who come to understand the nature of true love despite overwhelming odds. From a penniless pauper, a stenographer, a governess to an accused murderess, these ladies in love overcome incredible odds with grit and sophistication to find and keep true love.

The excerpt (about Annabelle Quennel, a poor country parson daughter) is an error.. this book is about Verity Bascombe, who was asked by her long ago schoolmate (Charlotte) to write Charlotte's letters to a duke whom Charlotte is pinning for.. and Polly is a (pet) bird's name.. i hope this explanation help other readers sorting out books to read.. p.s. i enjoy this one very much! :) 4.5 stars
