The Stepsister's Triumph
by Darcie Wilde

Even wallflowers find a way to bloom…

They were dismissed as hopeless—girls too plain,
too shy, too gauche to stand any chance in the ruthless
competition of the London season. But Helene Fitzgerald,
Madelene Valmeyer, and Adele Edmundson have no intention of
remaining wallflowers. Aided by the notorious novelist,
Deborah Sewell, they form the Wallflower Pact and set out to
find true love for themselves—and maybe even their
chaperone.

The Stepsister’s Triumph

Madelene Valemeyer has never felt welcome in her
father’s house. The daughter of his first wife, she
will be one of the richest heiresses in England when she
turns twenty-five. But for now, Madelene is just a miserably
shy girl, tormented mercilessly by her stepmother and three
half-siblings. Nearly unable to function socially, Madelene
certainly can’t see that Benedict Pelham, the artistic
son of a marquis, is falling in love with her.

Benedict Pelham hates London society, blaming its endless
seductions for the death of his brilliant first wife. But in
quiet, beautiful Madelene, Benedict believes he’s
finally found his chance to begin life again.

Madelene, though, is done being quiet. With the help of her
friends and fellow wallflowers, she is preparing to
transform from shy mouse to brilliant Miss. But social
success has a high price—is Madelene prepared to pay
with her heart?

Darcie Wilde's Bio

Darcie Wilde writes her steamy and adventurous romances from a university town in a certain northern-midwestern state that has been known to bear some passing resemblance to a mitten. When not writing, she’s reading, cooking, hiking, swimming, climbing things, raising her rapidly growing son and trying to convince her cat — Buffy the Vermin Slayer — not to do any further damage to the furniture.
