A Talent for Trouble
Book 3 of the Ladies of Distinction series
346 pages · First published 2013
Felicia Murdock has spent years dressing and behaving exactly as she thinks will attract the minister she expects to marry, only to discover that her carefully constructed plan has failed. She responds by reinventing herself with enthusiasm, which brings her into repeated contact with Grayson Sumner, a man whose own past is far more complicated than his respectable appearance suggests. Felicia’s gift for creating chaos collides with genuine danger when secrets surrounding Grayson refuse to remain buried. The third Ladies of Distinction novel combines Gilded Age romantic comedy, faith, adventure, and a heroine discovering that becoming herself is more useful than becoming someone’s ideal wife.
