When the dowager duchess of Marcross insists he accompany her
niece, Ginny, into the country for the day to execute a special
task, Sir Anthony is appalled, to say the least. Ginny, who thinks
little of the fashionable Sir Anthony, is as eager to be done with
the chore as he, but before they arrive at their destination they
are stranded by highwaymen and launched into adventure. Forced
into each other's company, Ginny begins to sense the passionate
nature beneath Sir Anthony's mask of ennui, while his
exasperation with the forthright Ginny turns into admiration of
her wit and charm. Then beautiful Lucinda Barrington and Lord
Avery, a poet, come onto the scene, sparking Ginny's imagination
and revealing a way to unmask the true man behind Sir Anthony's
frivolous facade. Meanwhile, the dowager duchess has plans of
her own for this pair, and her special task turns into a battle of
words, wills, and wit.

| Miss Delacourt Has Her Day (sequel to Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind) Ginny Delacourt felt the course of true love could not have run smoother. After all, it required only a fortnight, a pair of highwaymen, a pox quarantine, a sham betrothal, and a masquerade ball to bring Sir Anthony up to snuff. When her beloved suddenly becomes the heir to his uncle, the Duke of Marcross, protocol dictates that he drop the "Sir" from his name. It's his uncle who insists Ginny, daughter of a lowly vicar, is not the proper bride for a future duke. Lucinda and Lord Avery arrive on the scene to stir up trouble, and Ginny's normally manipulative Grandaunt Regina seems helpless to arrange anything, least of all a frowned-upon wedding. It's up to Anthony, with help from his fussy valet, to see to it that Ginny has her day. The road to true love just got a little bumpier.
