The Belles Dames Club — Melinda Hammond

Miss Clarissa Wyckenham comes to London to join her pretty step-mother and finds that Mama-Nell has formed a discreet club for ladies. Soon she is pitched headlong into the deliciously wicked antics of the Belles Dames Club and finds herself in conflict with the disapproving Lord Alresford. This is a sparkling comedy of romance and adventure set at the end of the 18th-century.

Hero: Lord Marius Alresford
