About This Book

A spirited young woman nicknamed Vixen challenges social conventions with impulsive riding, flirtatiousness, and disregard for parental authority, drawing in Roderick Vawdrey and their circle of family and acquaintances. The narrative traces their interactions across manor houses, stables, and social gatherings, where affection, rivalry, and disapproval create misunderstandings and complications. Episodic scenes and domestic crises reveal tensions between personal desire and social obligation, and the novel explores how temperament, reputation, and family expectations shape relationships and fortunes.
