For my children, the Darelings,

because apparently I have a trend with this

series—dedicating

books to people I hope will

never read them.

My daughter served as a

brilliant consultant on Rosamund and Daisy’s

characters, and my ever-clever

son taught me that some kids learn best in unconventional ways.

Darelings, I love you both. I promise that

out of all my books, this is the one and

only page I’ll ever force you to read.

(Bonus: I’ve now embarrassed you

in front of thousands of strangers.

Mom achievement unlocked!)

About the Publisher

Prologue

Alexandra Mountbatten had common sense. That’s what her friends believed.

The truth was, Alex had no sense at all—at least, not when it came to charming gentlemen with roguish green eyes. If she possessed any wisp of rationality, she wouldn’t have made such a fool of herself with the Bookshop Rake.
