When a Miss Goes Amiss

She only meant to help. Now all of Mayfair wants someone to blame.

Miss Genevieve "Genny" Moreland can walk into any room and see at once how to improve it, whether the room asked or not. So when Lady Penworth's charity fête committee dissolves into chaos, Genny steps in. She separates two feuding ladies, rewrites the lists, and puts everything right.

Within the hour, the florist's schedule is in ruins, the man of business has an order for six extra lemon cakes, the subscription book has vanished, and a scrap of paper turns up at Genny's feet bearing two words: blame her.

Viscount Woodmere has spent his life keeping things in order: his ledgers, his household, and his younger sister, who happens to be Genny's best friend. He arrives to rescue the fête and finds Genny standing squarely in the middle of the disaster. Of course he does.

With the fête one day away and her reputation unraveling by the hour, the two least compatible people in Mayfair must hunt down a thief together. She reads people. He reads columns of figures. Neither expected to read each other quite so well. And when the only way to catch the culprit is to hide in one very small room, together, long past midnight, the ton is bound to have opinions.

He has a perfectly sensible plan to save her reputation. She has no intention of being rescued. Somewhere between the missing ledger and the lemon cakes, the most orderly man in London has fallen hard for the most delightful disaster he has ever met. Now he only has to convince her that being loved is nothing like being managed.
