After the death of her roguish brother, Lady May Hayworth discovers he left children scattered throughout the country. Determined to give them their birthright in turn, May sets out to find the first on her list: Michaela Standish. Michaela is stunned but pleased by her new fortune and sets out with high hopes for the season. The prime catch this year is Major Adrian Khoury, regaled hero of the Napoleonic Wars. The good major, however, wants little of the social whirl but knows he must face it as part of his political ambitions. However, one look at Michaela sets him upon a new campaign to win the lady over. The first installment in the Mayfair Brides series, which will follow May's turns at fairy godmother, this book is a diamond of the first order. Navin draws wonderfully flawed characters and offers satisfying, complex relationships. Nina Davis
