Miss Eliza's Gentleman Caller - a Regency Romance

MISS ELIZA'S GENTLEMAN CALLER is a Regency romance novel set in London just after Waterloo. Young and innocent, Miss Eliza Foxburn is genuinely alarmed to discover that her widower father, Sir Richard, is courting a young lady whose father is in trade! Worse yet, the chit is only nineteen, just one year older than Eliza! The tendre is making her father look like an old fool, at least to Eliza. Surely she can make him see that his impossible infatuation is a mistake. And what better way than to encourage an impossibly older man to come courting her!

General March Huntley, a dashing officer of thirty-eight, is hardly over the hill. Back in London after a long campaign, he is making female hearts flutter. Yet he is vastly surprised when the lively Miss Eliza Foxburn asks him to call on her! When she steals a kiss, Huntley is pleased. But when he learns she is only playing a foolish game, Huntley, known as Wellington's Master Strategist, plans a battle of his own: to outfox Miss Foxburn and teach her a lesson . . . in love.
