The Social Tutor - Paperback

by Sally Britton (Author)

Her social graces are lacking, his finances are in ruin, but together they can solve both their problems. As long as they don't fall in love.After years of escaping etiquette lessons in favor of the stables, Christine Devon's grand debut in London is only weeks away. However, her deportment lacks the sophisticated polish she needs to achieve her father's demands for a lofty marriage. Desperate to take her place in society, she needs someone to instruct her in proper behavior.
Thomas Gilbert, newly returned from Italy, has long dreamed of founding a horse farm. But during his time away, his estate's finances have dwindled to almost nothing. Unless he finds a way to save his family from ruin, he will be forced to sell his horses and give up his dreams entirely.

A chance meeting between them may solve both their problems. Christine gains a tutor in the finer arts of polite behavior, while Thomas is given access to the finest equine bloodlines in England. But as time passes, the arrangement is less about their mutual need, and more about love. Will they see it in time, or will Christine leave Thomas behind for the splendor of London's ballrooms?

In this second edition print of The Social Tutor, fans and new readers alike will enjoy a new cover, never-before-published chapter, an extended epilogue, unique illustration, all new formatting, and edits to enhance the reader's experience.
