ISABELLE S THE GREAT MISFORTUNE OF STELLA SEDGWICK

Bridgerton  meets  The Davenports  in this wildly entertaining standalone romance  following a
young Black woman trying to balance her independence with her future in 1860s London’s high
society.    "Stella Sedgwick will steal your heart while tickling your funny bone. If you’re
ready for a witty heroine  a hero with a heart of gold  and a plot that will keep you turning
pages until late into the night  then this is the book for you!"--Meg Cabot  author of  The
Princess Diaries   Stella Sedgwick is a lost cause.  Banished from etiquette lessons and unsure
of her future  Stella dreams of a writing career and independence  but 1860s England offers
little opportunity beyond marriage or servitude for a sharp-tongued  dark-skinned girl.  When
her late mother’s former employer summons Stella to London  he tells her of his intention to
bequeath one of the family’s great estates to her. It’s a life-changing inheritance  but one
that will precipitate a legal battle that would be easier if Stella were married. With her
cousin Olivia by her side  Stella is thrust into London society and must navigate fashion and
balls  insults and stares  and a rekindled connection to Nathaniel  her childhood best friend
with a rakish reputation.  Beyond the marriage market  living in London presents intriguing
opportunities to Stella  like picking up her mother’s anonymous advice column to guide readers
through upper-class perils. As new acquaintances are made and old secrets are uncovered  Stella
must decide when to play by the rules  when to break them  and when to let herself follow her
heart.
