description: This foreign affair is destined to become a family affair...
  
  Like Mother, Like Daughter
  
  For a girl who has only just Come Out, the Season--with its unwritten rules and gossip--is trying enough on its own. If she has her eyes on a particular bachelor, a young miss must stave off the competition in any way she can. But when the shy, slightly awkward Miss Helena Devereaux catches a glimpse of the dashing Major Brett Stanford at a Viennese soiree, she'll have to re-write the rules of this war-- because the competition is none other than her mother...
  
  The Princess von Hohenbachern could not be more different from her daughter if she tried. The Princess is always the life of the party; young Helena prefers her studies. The elder lady goes about encircled by adoring men; her daughter keeps to herself. But when the much-decorated cavalryman Stanford takes notice of the wallflower, Helena feels a flame course through her body like nothing she's ever known. And she realizes that, however much she loves her dear mother, it will be every woman for herself...
