Susannah Garland is without funds and she is also madly in love with her cousin, Miles Devereux.  Miles needs to marry into wealth.  When Susannah fears her Uncle will harm her, she runs away to London.  The only skill she has learned is sewing.  While employed at a house of fashion, her skills are in high demand. 

She sees her cousin on a chance encounter and realizes she is still in love with him.  As he is married, he offers to put her up as his mistress.  Susannah is mortified, she will not ever agree to that arrangement.  She has also met Sir Jeffrey Stratton; he does not like the Devereux family.  To put a wedge between Susannah and Miles, Jeffrey offers to financially back Susannah so she can start her own house of fashion.  Can Susannah find true love without having strings attached? 

This is a bitter sweet love story with graceful characters.  Fans of London society and all the starch that comes with it will enjoy Fashion’s Lady.
