Learn moreFor lovely young Miss Patricia Patterson, life seemed a delightful dream—until the specter of her guardian, Lord Charles Gaunt, cast a shadow over her carefree days of idleness and enchanting evenings of dazzling balls and delicious flirtations.
Lord Charles demanded that she act the part of a proper—and perfectly boring—young miss. Even worse, he insisted she devote her waking hours to cultivating her mind rather than captivating her swarm of admirers. Thus, the battle was begun between the handsome, arrogant aristocrat, who had Patricia in his lawful power, and Patricia, who vowed to turn this hateful tyrant into her lovelorn subject.
M. C. Beaton (1936–2019), hailed as the “Queen of Crime” by the Globe and Mail, was the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Agatha Raisin novels—the basis for the hit series on Acorn TV and public television—as well as the Hamish Macbeth series and the Edwardian Murder Mysteries featuring Lady Rose Summer. Born in Scotland, Beaton started her career writing historical romances under several pseudonyms as well as her maiden name, Marion Chesney.
