Cupid's Choice Gayle Buck

When Guin Holland arrives in London, she's full of apprehension. The Earl of Holybrooke, her twin brother and sole confidante, is immediately immersed into his own social rounds. Mrs. Holland, her mother, is an ambitious social climber. Though she has no greast affection for her daughter, she still has grand ambitions for her. Guin is to be married off for wealth and position. Guin's own hopes are ignored. Stammering, shy and gauche under the waspish Mrs. Holland's aegis, it is little wonder Guin does not shine in society. Sir Frederick Hawkesworth, a suave diplomat, pities the beleaguered Miss Holland. He has a soft spot for damsels in distress. Quite unintentionally, he sets in motion a concerted effort among a few society friends to aid Miss Holland's social entree. As the London Season progresses, his interest in Miss Holland becomes far more personal than he ever anticipated. A Sleeping Beauty tale set in Regency london.
