description: "YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO, MASTER FREDERICK," SAID THE EARL. "OR SHOULD I SAY...MISS FREDERICA."
  
  The tenth earl of Berham did not know what to do. An attractive 32-year-old bachelor, he was appointed guardian of one Freddie Armstrong, the eighteen-year-old grandson of his late father's dear friend. That was bad enough.
  
  Then he discovered the boy was really a girl! It simply would not do to keep an unchaperoned young lady in his home.
  
  The earl's frequent visitor, Lady Clarissa Rennenord, heartily agreed -- but for less noble reasons. Hoping to snare the earl in marriage, her ladyship did not want any competition. She recommended that Freddie be sent to a seminary. No one but Lady Rennenord knew what a horrid place it was. No one, including Lady Rennenord, expected Freddie to escape.
  
  Now Freddie was back. And the earl found her presence disturbing in more ways than one...
