Summary

In the second in Maya Rodale's delightful Wallflower series, London's Least Likely to Cause a Scandal is taking Society by storm . . .

Being good has worked out very badly for Lady Olivia Archer. All she has to show for four seasons on the marriage mart is the nickname Prissy Missy. Her prospects are so bleak that her parents have betrothed her to a stranger with a dire reputation. If Phinneas Cole--aka The Mad Baron-- wants a biddable bride, perhaps Olivia can frighten him off by breaking every ladylike rule.

Phinn has admired Olivia's poise and refinement from afar . . . qualities that appear to have vanished now that they are officially engaged. This Olivia is flirtatious, provocative, and wickedly irresistible. She's not at all the woman he bargained for, yet she's the only one he wants.

He's determined to woo her. She's determined to resist. But Olivia is discovering there's nothing so appealing as a fiancé who's mad, bad, and dangerously seductive . . .

Library Journal Review

The construction of the mathematical device known as the Difference Engine is what brings Phinneas Cole, Baron Radcliffe, to London from Yorkshire. Yet when he spies a beautiful young woman at a ball, he sets in motion the other reason he's come to town: to find a bride. Lady Olivia Archer is not happy, though, when her parents present the offer as a fait accompli. Olivia might be on her fourth season and referred to as Prissy Missy by the ton, but shouldn't she be allowed to seek her own mate? Maybe the gossips have the right of it, and the Mad Baron did murder his first wife. Olivia is terrified she'll end up the same way, so she proceeds to demonstrate a passion for scandal in the hopes of altering his marriage plans. Adhering to society's, and her mother's, strictures has never been a comfortable fit for Olivia, but behaving with wild abandon doesn't seem quite right either. Can she and Phinn determine the perfect balance between his temper and her compliance in order to lose their hearts? Verdict This second book in Rodale's "Wallflower" series (after The Wicked Wallflower) brings together again the graduates of Lady Penelope's Finishing School for Young Ladies of Fine Families in an enchanting story of miscalculations that ultimately lead to love.
