The New York Times–bestselling author presents a delightful series in which the staff in a London town house helps with much more than the daily chores . . .

It was the fashion during the Regency era to hire a house for the season in Mayfair—the heart of London’s West End—at a disproportionately high rent for sometimes very inferior accommodation. But Number 67 Clarges Street, a town house complete with staff, has remained vacant season after season, as the history of the house and rumors of bad luck dissuade potential renters . . .

Salvation seems to come at last in the form of Mr. Roderick Sinclair, who has confirmed his intentions to let the house for the season. The servants are overjoyed—until they find that Mr. Sinclair is a terrible miser and is planning no parties. Furthermore, his ward, Fiona, seems not to have a bright idea in her head. But Rainbird, the clever and elegant butler, plots with Fiona to bewitch, bedazzle, and confuse the earl into seeing things their way . . .

“A romance writer who deftly blends humor and adventure.” —Booklist

Previously published under the name Marion Chesney
