In this Edwardian romance by the bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries, a daring young woman disguises herself to win an upper-class bachelor.

She is an honored guest in a palatial country home. “Aunt Mabel,” the lovelorn columnist of Home Chats magazine, has been summoned to prevent the Duchess of Dartware’s son, Paul, from a marriage that others believed a fate worse than death.

Who would have guessed that behind Aunt Mabel’s acid pen and ageless wisdom lurked the real eighteen-year-old Sally Blane, determined to make the handsome marquess her own! But how can she compete, wearing false wrinkles and a white wig? It is a challenge worthy of Sally herself: to conquer the upper-class of Dartware and bewitch her newfound Prince Charming without giving away the real secret of who Aunt Mabel really is...
