In più, ricopre la classica professione delle zitelle senza speranza: fa l’istitutrice e la chaperon di una ragazza alla sua prima Stagione. Il suo compito è quello di accompagnare la ricchissima e bellissima Greta agli eventi mondani, tenendola sotto controllo ma rimanendo sullo sfondo come una severa tappezzeria.

Until his mother asks him to make a bold move to restore the family name and fortune: marry a rich American heiress.

Miss Kalina Little is not the debutante that Nathanial, Duke of Hereford, needs for his wife.
