This series is about three young girls that met in boarding school and formed a life long bond.  Catherine is the daughter of a very snobbish Duke.  Her father wants her to marry an old man.  She refuses so she is sent to live with her great Aunt under guard because her father fears she will run away.  In spite of circumstances she is able to meet her future husband who is a gentleman farmer, much to her Father's displeasure.  Lord Verwood is a main character in the series and tries to help her.  Julianna is the granddaughter of a very rich Cit and he wishes her to marry someone with a title.  His friend sends a promising candidate, one who desperately needs funds due to his Uncle's bad habits.  Julianna runs away and joins a Ballet troupe.  Her suitor arrives in town to meet with her only to find out that she is "indisposed".  Pen is the third disgrace and seems to have the most problems.  Pen'Aunt and Uncle are sponsoring her for the season but really do not know how to dress her so she is overlooked by prospective suitors.  Lord Verwood comes to her rescue only in fact Pen saves his life several times.  Someone is out to kill him and the end of their story is surprising.  I heartily recommend this series.
