Books like Lessons For a Lady by Barbara Neil
After her father absconds amid scandal, Susanna Marlowe and her mother are cast out of respectable society, thrust into a lower social standing. Susanna’s spirited nature earns little admiration and much discouragement. Her childhood friend, Edward Farrineau, steps in to rescue her, and their bond deepens. Yet Edward is destined for marriage to a lady of impeccable quality, a match that forced Susanna to confront her unreciprocated love. When Edward’s betrothal is announced, Susanna’s discontent grows; she persuades eccentric relatives and Edward’s future fiancée to assist him in finding a suitable match for her. Encouraged beyond her initial reluctance, Susanna embarks on formal lessons to become a socially acceptable lady, leading to unexpected and sometimes embarrassing outcomes.
