Gabriella
by Brenda Hiatt
After her father's death, his veterinary practice is sold and his daughter, Miss Gabriella "Brie" Gordon, no longer has the excuse of helping out to keep her from a Season in London. With no dowry and no particularly impressive family background, Brie probably has little chance of making a good match...except that the Duke of Ravenham loses a wager and promises her brother-in-law to make her a social success. While advising her on clothes and which invitations to accept, the Duke falls in love with Brie, and she him. But one of Brie's jilted suitors tries to ruin Brie's reputation, leading Brie to flee London before Ravenham can make her an offer of marriage.
Fun! It felt a little like a less-serious version of [b: Evelina|37638|Evelina|Fanny Burney|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1168976259s/37638.jpg|3055922], in that Brie has innate good taste and manners, but is put into bad situations or exposed to ungentleman-like conduct thanks to her relatives' boorish social climbing.
