I love this novella. I actually like it better thanThe Duke Is Mine. With Cyrus and Lucy we have a truly engaging couple. I would love to read a series based on his siblings. Lucy is a tall girl of good birth but no particular fortune, Cyrus is the son of  a scandal with a long term plan to restore his family name. With limited options, Lucy is his for the asking. What was a formal and appropriate arrangement between Cyrus and Lucy's father is upended when Lucy inherits unexpected wealth. Now that she has options Lucy realizes she can demand to be someone's priority. Cyrus has never looked at her as a person, she has been a stage in his plan. Once Lucy considers herself worthy of notice their engagement is at an end. Here the story begins. An absolute bargain at the price, Winning The Wallflower is one of my favorite tales from Eloisa James. I really regretted it ending, although it felt like a more complete tale than many longer books I read this year. Get this one, it's great.
