How do you find a husband who doesn’t like fox hunting? You seek out a scholar, rake, or physician.When Miss Violette Hangbury begins her first season, her main goal is attracting a suitor who will love her pet fox as much as she does. After meeting two other misfit misses with similar goals, Violette is introduced to the studious Lord Tottham, who is smart, personable, and agreeably handsome. He just doesn’t seem to be any good at this courting business.Richard Woodley, the Viscount of Tottham, is quite taken with the delightfully wry Miss Hangbury, but he doesn’t know if he can keep up with her lively temperament. Used to feeling awkward with relationships, he questions whether he should pursue her for the very permanent state of marriage.
