Nicola and the Viscount

Nicola and the Viscount by Cabot, Meg. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780060005528.

Nicola Nicola Sparks, sixteen and an orphan, is ready to dive headlong into her first London Season. A whirlwind of fashionable activities awaits her, although nabbing a husband, ordinarily the prime object of every girls Season, is not among them. For Nicola has already chosen hers: a handsome viscount by the name of Lord Sebastian. The Viscount Lord Sebastian Bartholomew is wealthy, attractive, and debonair, even if the few tantalizingly short moments Nicola has spent with him have produced little save discussions about poetry. Nicola is sure that a proposal from Lord Sebastian would be a match made in heaven. Everything is going well, until the infuriating Nathaniel Sheridan begins to cast doubt on the viscounts character. Nicola is convinced Nathaniels efforts to besmirch Lord Sebastians sterling reputation will yield nothing. But when she begins to piece things together for herself, the truth that is revealed has as much to do with the viscount as it does with Nicolas own heart.
