Lady: Impossible
by Fraser, B. D.
Meet Lady Emilia Pembroke, only daughter of the Earl and Countess of Silsbury. Sharp-tongued, well educated and pretty, she arrives in London to spend the summer with her flighty mother, only to find a new addition to the household in the dashing form of Blair Baxter. Handsome, debonair and not yet thirty, this new butler scarcely fits the senior servant stereotype and seems to harbour secrets of his own. Before Millie can recover from the shock, her mother drops another bombshell: twenty-eight and unmarried – it’s high time Millie was sent to a matchmaker.
The problem is, it’s 2012, not 1912, and Millie sees little reason to rectify both her difficult attitude and her marital status. It’s only when her interest in Blair quickly gets out of hand that she agrees to be set up with charming investment banker Oliver Paten-Pryce. However, the spectre of family scandal remains omnipresent and, torn between rumours of financial strife and duty to her family, Millie is forced to face the perennial question – is money the be all and end all?
Set during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year, 'Lady: Impossible' is a cheeky tale of love, sex, status and privilege, told with as much of Millie’s clever, irrepressible wit as a Kindle can handle.
