Ballroom Belles

Bright and bubbly eighteen-year-old Lavinia Meadows comes to London with her family to find a husband, following in the footsteps of her elder sister. She thoroughly enjoys herself in the London social whirl but her path is crossed by Sir Nicholas Sinclair, the one person her mother wishes her to avoid as he has the reputation of being the most handsome rake in town. Lavinia's enquiring mind leads her into unexpected situations, surprising Sir Nicholas and making him reconsider his own life. But will he rescue her from the most traumatic adventure of all? Jean Morley was born in Lincoln but has spent most of her life in Wiltshire. Here she taught City and Guilds Sugarcraft for many years. Now retired, she indulges in watercolour painting and writing. Her eclectic range of short stories have been entered in competitions, read to groups and broadcast on radio. Ballroom Belles is her eighth novel.
