In the 1st novel of Maya Rodale’s stunning new series, an American heiress must figure out how to navigate London society and an infuriatingly irresistible rake .

Lord Darcy may be the quintessential Englishman: wealthy, titled, impossibly proper, and horrified that a pack of Us citizens has inherited among England’s most respected dukedoms. But his manners, his infamous self-restraint, and his better view journey out the home window when he finds himself with the maddening American gal next door.

Lady about Female Bridget’s Diary: Keeping Up With the Cavendishes Bridget Cavendish has grand-but thwarted-plans to become Perfect Female and take the haute lot by surprise. In her journal, Bridget records her disastrous tries to assimilate into London high culture, her adoration from the good-looking rogue nearby, her disdain for the Dreadful Lord Darcy, plus some truly scandalous secrets that could damage them all.

It had been loathing at first sight for Woman Bridget and Lord Darcy. But their pathways maintain crossing . . . and in some way involve kissing. When Lady Bridget’s diary goes missing, both Darcy and Bridget must decide what matters most of all-a sterling status or a properly imperfect love.
