Minerva - Tapa dura

This is the first in a new series, The Six Sisters. Raven-haired Minerva, eldest daughter of an impecunious vicar, is dispatched to town under the wing of the disreputable old Lady Godolphin. Her task: to find a rich husband and thereby restore the ailing family fortunes. When her London debut is marred by her habit of speaking her mind, the highly eligible Lord Sylvester Comfrey decides to give her lessons in the gentle art of attracting the opposite sex. But his expert teaching results in some surprising consequences!
