About the book

WHEN A YOUNG WOMAN DONS A GIRLISH DISGUISE, SHE DISCOVERS THAT LOVE IS NOT CHILD'S PLAY. Poor Grace, having just lost her post as governess, had no friends, no money, and was indeed in dire straits. Her petite figure and clever disguise fooled the coachman into giving her a child's fare to Wickfield, but what to do when she got there? Handsome Lord Whewett, to whom our heroine desperately confided her predicament, had a suggestion. Would she pose as his daughter to appease his aging and very rich mother, while his real daughter remained in Scotland? One hundred pounds for two days of skipping rope and reciting lessons seemed a tolerable antidote to her boring life and uncertain future. Unfortunately, Grace's interest in Whewett was becoming anything but childlike.
