Everyone thought Gwendolyn was empty-headed. They weren't entirely wrong. Pretty, sheltered, and accustomed to having everything done for her, Gwendolyn has never had to think very much about the world beyond her comfortable country home. Then tragedy changes everything. Suddenly, she is faced with the daunting prospect of earning her own living. But she has no useful skills and scarcely knows how ordinary people live. Thrown into the unfamiliar world of Regency London, Gwendolyn discovers that life is considerably more complicated than she imagined. She becomes a governess, a companion, and a young woman learning, sometimes painfully, how to fend for herself. And then there is the Earl of Kendal. Handsome, wealthy, and seemingly destined for another, the Earl has no reason to take notice of a young woman like Gwendolyn. Yet there is something about her that catches his attention, and arouses the jealousy of a woman determined to keep him for herself. As Gwendolyn navigates the hazards of society, encounters unexpected friendships and enemies, and finds herself irresistibly drawn to the unattainable Earl, she begins to discover something far more important than romance. She is discovering herself. For Gwendolyn's greatest adventure is not finding her prince. It is finding herself. A charming Regency romance filled with GL Robinson's characteristic humor, and historical reality, with a heroine who discovers she is far more capable than anyone ever imagined..
