Can headstrong Marianne find her place in respectable society?

Regency England: Marianne Carstairs has unexpectedly inherited a fortune from a father she has never known.

In the will, her trustee—Marquess Justin Raymond—is tasked with introducing her into respectable society.

But as the manager of her family's farm, Marianne is reluctant to leave behind her life of freedom and independence. What's more, she finds Justin high-handed and stubborn.

At the insistence of her grandfather, Marianne agrees to stay with Justin and his family at their Somerset estate, Lunswick Hall.

But as their relationship grows stormy, Justin sees that it might prove impossible to turn his ward into a debutante . . .

Wonderful plot set up but the story gets bogged down until the end.

The “Impossible Ward” has a wonderful beginning and plot setup; but unfortunately the bulk of the story gets bogged down in overly descriptive conversations that fail to move the story along.

Other than the satisfying ending, this is not one of Dorothy Mack’s better books. I recommend you try one of her other books; like “The Gangsters Daughter,” if you’re looking for a Georgette Heyer style book.
