There was magic in great-grandmother's wedding dress, according to Lady Abercorn. So her beautiful daughter Lilibet should use it to win a rich husband. But it was Neala who opened the door to Lord Winterton--who was instantly captivated by her. Neala had her pride; she wanted no man who was bewitched--by anything but love.

painful to read, all the expectations forced on the heroine, couldn't stand the selfishness of all the characters, the mother, the sister, the best friend (with friends and family like this, who needs enemies?) it was painful to read the heroine’s inability to speak out, of course if she did the book would be a lot lot shorter.
Fun mixup of maybe magic with lazy B, mousy N, danger. Gran brought magic wedding gown from Ireland, spoiled Lilibet threw luck to shy petite Neala, for manly war hero Winterton, owed post to old Brewster. Trench (ick) sought spy, got worldly widow. Typo 7.14 comer^ corner 11.8,9 Hamiltons
Well-written Regency story, charming characters, and perhaps a slightly predictable plot but all the same fun. Yes, do read this if you can get a copy.
