Gentleman of Her Dreams
Book 0.5 of the Ladies of Distinction series
81 pages · First published 2012
Charlotte Wilson is convinced that handsome, wealthy Hamilton Beckett must be the husband God intends for her, despite the inconvenient fact that she has never met him. She recruits longtime friend Henry St. James, newly returned to New York, to engineer an introduction and help her attract Hamilton’s notice. Every plan misfires, while feelings Charlotte once had for Henry begin returning at exactly the wrong time. This Ladies of Distinction prequel novella delivers Jen Turano’s Gilded Age romantic comedy in miniature, with matchmaking schemes, friendship, faith, and a heroine discovering that the gentleman of her dreams may not be the gentleman she selected.
