Mary Alsworthy is determined that this will be the year that she finds a husband. Although considered the catch of the last two seasons, she hasn't managed to gain a proposal she found acceptable. In a stunning blow, the man she agreed to marry instead turned around and married her sister instead. Although she is living temporarily in their house, she cringes at their solicitous glances and offers to sponsor her for another season.
So when Lord Vaughn offers her an assignment on behalf of the spy The Pink Carnation, Mary accepts. She is to discover the identity of the Black Tulip who has a thing for women who look like Mary. There is danger but the biggest danger is Mary's attraction to Lord Vaughn who sometimes appears to return it but others acts as if she were something the cat dragged in. Then there is the little matter of Vaughn's marriage....
This is the fourth novel in the Pink Carnation series. Lauren Willig has made a name for herself in the genre of historical romances and this one follows the formula but is nonetheless, great fun. This book is recommended to romance and historical fiction readers.
