About this audiobook
Which freedoms is a widow permitted in the year 1755? Might she write or even publish a somewhat scandalous romance? Or fall in love with a younger man?
Due to a misunderstanding, Mary publishes a novel, an action she considers highly improper. Behind a pseudonym, she frets over the undiscovered fact that she is an author. When she learns that her brother is forcing his daughter, Louisa, into an arranged marriage, she recognizes the opportunity as an escape for them both. Mary sweeps her niece off to Bath where she intends to stay away from the lure of her pen and to help Louisa find a match.
Once in Bath, Mary meets handsome, responsible, and well-heeled Daniel Fletcher, the embodiment of male perfection. She interferes to ensure he and Louisa form an attachment. As affection grows between Louisa and Daniel, she realizes her mistake. Mary wants Daniel for herself.
Chatter about Mary's book abounds in Bath. Some of its more inflammatory themes persuade a couple of young people to embark on an elopement. Daniel accompanies Mary in a quest to intercede. On the journey, Mary grapples with her identity as a well-behaved gentlewoman. Is she brave enough to choose love over propriety?
