"You forget yourself, your lordship.
You have no rights to allow or disallow anything I may choose to do. You have, in fact, no claim over me whatsoever – a circumstance for which I thank the Lord on a daily basis! I am neither your ward nor your dependent, and I will not allow you to talk to me in that odiously overbearing fashion!"
High-spirited Artemisia Grantley, niece of the Duke of Wentworth, has never made any attempt to conform to the feminine ideal expected of a lady of quality, nor has she ever had the benefit of an unfavourable opinion formed against her. But when the Marquess of Chysm enters her life, it seems to her that his lordship is always at hand to witness her shortcomings and bring them to her attention.
As she reluctantly embarks upon her first London Season, a scandalous family secret and a conspiracy that stretches all the way to Napoleonic France threaten to entangle her with the one person she could happily throttle.

About The Author
Bestselling author DG Rampton loves to create feel-good romantic comedy, featuring intelligent heroines, dashing men and sparkling banter. An engineer by training but a romantic by nature, she left behind her corporate career to follow the call of her artistic inclinations and write stories that bring joy and laughter into people's lives.
She has a penchant for gastro-dining, French comedy and theoretical physics, and when not immersed in the fictional worlds she creates has been known to dabble in extreme property makeovers that send her family batty.
After being honoured with an interview on ABC radio’s Nightlife show, to delve into the ins and outs of being a romance author, she ended up having so much fun that “radio jockey” is now on her career wish-list.
