A Foreign Affair

How can an eligible young lady in the 1818 season be expected to find a suitable husband? This was the riddle that wealthy Lady Emma Shaftesbury was wrestling with as she looked over the crop of young dandies who had attended this season's balls. She felt strongly that it was important she see the world before she married, and her mother agreed, deciding to take her on The Grand Tour, first to France, where she sees the beauty of the fashion world and, with luck, her future wedding dress. She had decided she would only marry a man who can buy her the dress she saw in a shop on the Champs Élysée... Then to Italy where she would experience great art and, possibly, true love. Nobody had counted on Emma's perseverance, strength of character, and ability to love. In the dazzling season in Regency England, Emma is one young lady you will never forget!
