Lady Hilary's Halloween — Mona Gedney

A DESPERATE CINDERELLA
Too tall, her wit too quick, and her wardrobe too dowdy, Lady Hilary faces imminent spinsterhood...until her father arranges a match. But a betrothal visit soon reveals the terrible truth -- Hilary hates her boorish future in-laws, and most of all her future husband. There seems to be no hope, until her friend Lily dreams up a reason for her to come to London...

...NEEDS A PRINCE CHARMING
Once there, a complete makeover -- from gowns to geegaws -- transforms Hilary from a plain Jane into a princess. The ton is suitably impressed, particularly the dashing Lord Grayden, who cannot accept that the willowy Cinderella who fits so perfectly into his arms should be engaged to a man she despises. Determined to come to Hilary's rescue, he quickly concocts a scheme to save her...a Halloween surprise destined to unmask the sweetest secrets of true love...

Hero: Lord Grayden
