Accomplishments & Accomplices: A Regency Rom-Com - Paperback

by Grace Ellen Queen (Author)

Lady Diana Huxley is a Bront? heroine lost in a Jane Austen fever-dream.

Haunted, heartbroken, and abruptly sent to live with her newly-married cousin in a palatial country estate, Diana just wants to blend in. Utterly unfamiliar with the customs and culture of Regency Era high society, Diana is more than content to play the role of silent companion to her chatty cousin, Maggie. She certainly didn't come to New Glenbury to fall in love.

But when the handsome and happy-go-lucky Hudson Birch moves to the estate next door, two meddling matrons, Constance and Elizabeth, take it upon themselves to play matchmaker. Soon, Diana unwittingly finds herself at the center of a grand conspiracy with the entire village of New Glenbury in cahoots to give her the appearance of possessing all the accomplishments she so obviously lacks. What could possibly go wrong? A lot, apparently.

Accomplishments and Accomplices is a charming romantic comedy about the joy of self-discovery, the power of female friendships, and the perils of falling in love.
