About This Book

A paying guest at the Galvin House residential hotel overhears fellow boarders pitying her single status and, on impulse, claims she will dine with a fiancé. To avert humiliation she persuades a young officer, Lord Peter Bowen, to pose as the suitor, setting off a cascade of romantic misunderstandings, social manoeuvres, and comic complications among residents, family allies, and rivals. The narrative follows schemes and reversals, the interventions of influential acquaintances, and the disruption of an air raid, all contributing to a frantic contest against enforced spinsterhood.
