In the House of Brady, three very lovely girls have hair of gold—and hearts to match—but finding a match among the gentlemen of London is one comedy of errors that could bring down the house . . .
Marcia gets schooled . . .
Of the three Brady sisters, Lady Marcia has always seemed the girl most likely to lead a perfectly charmed life. But after a handsome cad breaks her heart, she swears off love and devotes her life to teaching girls at a private school. In spite of her family's wish for a London debut, Marcia is happy where she is—until terrible news sends her back to the Brady clan . . . and into the arms of an unexpected suitor.
. . . on the subject of love!
A dark and dashing earl who knows Marcia's past, Duncan Lattimore is surprised by what a fascinating and independent woman she's become. Marcia, too, is surprised—by the fiery attraction she feels for Duncan. But why—why—must he be the brother of the scoundrel who broke her heart? Why must Marcia's rival at school forbid her from seeing him? How can this lady possibly resist this fellow—when they know that it's much more than a hunch. . . ?
"Though Kramer includes her characteristic lighthearted touches, she's smart and confident enough to take her characters and their situations seriously, turning what could have been a one-line joke into a deep and appealing story." —Publishers Weekly

Kramer scores with the inaugural House of Brady imbroglio. Lady Marcia Sherwood, daughter of the marchioness of Brady—and yes, her sisters and stepbrothers have names to match—was compromised by seductive Finn Lattimore on her 16th birthday. She has kept it a secret, but her strong sense of honor has prevented her from seeking marriage in the five years since. Just as a jealous rival costs Marcia her beloved position as the headmistress of a girls’ academy, Finn returns to London and reveals Marcia’s secret to his brother, Duncan, Lord Chadwick. Appalled by his brother’s behavior, Duncan decides to make Marcia’s situation right through marriage. Marcia is not immune to either Finn’s charm or Duncan’s determined pursuit, but she is most committed to returning to the academy. Though Kramer (If You Give a Girl a Viscount) includes her characteristic lighthearted touches, she’s smart and confident enough to take her characters and their situations seriously, turning what could have been a one-line joke into a deep and appealing story. Agent: Jenny Bent, the Bent Agency. -

For Marcia Sherwood, one of three sisters in the House of Brady, marriage is not an option. Four years ago, while traveling to a wedding in Dublin, Marcia fell in love with Finnian Lattimore. Marcia thought they would spend the rest of their lives together until Finn's older brother, Duncan, Lord Chadwick, sent Finn away to America. Unfortunately, before they were separated, Marcia and Finn had already celebrated their love. Fortunately for Marcia, she has found a new calling as the headmistress of Oak Hall. But her comfortable life is turned upside down when the school's current benefactress (a jealous former schoolmate) has Marcia dismissed. While mapping out her future at the Brady townhouse in London, Marcia unexpectedly runs into another roadblock on the road to happy spinsterhood in the form of Duncan Lattimore. Fans of the TV sitcom The Brady Bunch will be amazed at how cleverly and unexpectedly Kramer improvises on the show in her latest incandescently witty, completely captivating Regency historical.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
