Mary Balogh is one of my favorite authors, and with good cause. Lady with a Black Umbrella does not disappoint. The heroine, Daisy, is a very likeable character. Considering herself "on the shelf" at age 25, she is determined that her beautiful younger sister Rose, will make a good match. When she arrives in London and finds her aunt and uncle out of the country, she has to find someone to make introductions for her sister and self. Thankfully, she rescued a very good-looking and titled lord(Lord Kincaid) from some thugs at the local inn (using her black umbrella). When same said lord must leave without paying his bills, she pays them for him, even his whore. When she meets up with him in London, she feels he might be grateful enough to help her with the introductions she needs. What she is oblivious to is that he is angry and humiliated that she has paid his debts of such delicate nature, especially when this becomes public knowledge. Aggravation and chaos gradually blossom into mutual feelings. A delightful read!
