Commotion reigns at the Poor Relation hotel when two unwelcome ladies create chaos among the established order of things!

And then there is Lady Carruthers, a highly rouged widow who passes off her grown daughter, Arabella, as a school miss while setting her own cap for the young Earl of Denby, despite the fact that young Arabella is quite smitten with the dashing golden-haired earl! So once again it is up to the other poor relations to straighten out the course of true love...

About the Author
M.C. Beaton is the author of both the Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series, as well as numerous Regency romances. Her Agatha Raisin books are currently being turned into a TV series on Sky. She lives in Paris and in a Cotswold village that is very much like Agatha's beloved Carsely.
From Library Journal
The owners of the Poor Relation Hotel are busy once again. This time, Sir Philip Sommerville has installed a vulgar, grasping woman in the hotel, and his co-owners are frantic to remove her. At the same time, they decide they must help a young guest find a husband. These experienced schemers almost make and break the wrong matches, but greed is revealed, and love triumphs. Like the others in this series (e.g., Lady Fortescue Steps Out , LJ 1/92; Miss Tonks Turns to Crime LJ 3/1/93), this is a lighthearted romp by a prolific genre author. Chesney skillfully creates spirited characters, including the older principals, and places them in a believable period atmosphere. For Regency collections.
