Book 1 in the Wishing for Love series.
When Phoebe Caldicot loses her much-needed job as an instructress at a select Bath
seminary, she knows exactly whom to blame. Sir Miles Saunderton, the
elder brother of one of her pupils, is managing, infuriating and the
last man she ever wants to see again. As she gazes into a candle flame,
she wishes for security. Marriage seems her only option, but where can a
penniless ex-schoolmistress find a suitable husband?
The
rippling water in a silver bowl stills, and Lady Xanthe Simms and her
huge white cat Titus see the image of the desperate young lady. But
desperation and wishes are what keep life busy and entertaining for the
resourceful fairy godmother. With a melodic hum—and the fluttering to
the floor of one of her gold-tipped wing feathers—Lady Xanthe sets forth
to grant Phoebe the opportunity to make her wish come true. But opportunities are never certainties…
