But when his very proper British manners lead Poppy's grandmother to request he teach etiquette to Poppy, he quickly finds himself in for much more than he bargained for. <br/><br/>And while they couldn't be more opposite, Reginald and Poppy just might find they have more to teach each other than they ever could have expected.<br/><br/>"Set in 1885, this fun second installment of Turano's Heiresses series (after <i>Flights of Fancy</i>) introduces heiress Poppy Montgomery . . . .
