SWEET EARLY VICTORIAN ROMANCE ~ Her silly little joke just might break both of their hearts!

Having admired him since they were practically children, Nell Caspar is delighted when Elliott Clyde is finally able to court her in earnest. But after dancing with him just once at her coming-out ball at Whitehall, her foolish attempt at coquetry goes awry. Heartsick, she fears he may never want to speak to her again.

For years, Elliott has longed to win Nell’s heart, but his hopes are dashed when she receives his request for a second dance in a seemingly less than favourable manner. At evening’s end, he leaves Whitehall, miserable, yet determined to prove himself worthy of her consideration. In the weeks that follow, he upends his entire world and embarks on a journey across the breadth of England in his quest to become a proper suitor.

Not one to sit quietly by and see what may transpire, Nell soon realizes that she must cast decorum aside and take action herself if she is to regain Elliott’s attention and affection. But where is he?

Even when these star-crossed lovers are face to face once more, it seems that roguish rivals, young mischievous relatives, and their own bungled declarations may keep them apart. When will they divulge to one another their unwavering devotion, and claim their destiny together?

Although Such Vexing Creatures can be read as a standalone novel, it is the third book of the Whitehall Romance series.
