Evelyn Maltravers understands exactly how little she's worth on the marriage mart. As an incurable bluestocking from a family tumbling swiftly toward ruin, she knows she'll never make a match in a ballroom. Her only hope is to distinguish herself by making the biggest splash in the one sphere where she excels: on horseback . . . in haute couture. But to truly capture London's attention she'll need a habit-maker who's not afraid to take risks with his designs - and with his heart. Half-Indian tailor Ahmad Malik has always had a talent for making women beautiful, inching his way toward recognition by designing riding habits for Rotten Row's infamous Pretty Horsebreakers - but no one compares to Evelyn. Her unbridled spirit enchants him, awakening a depth of feeling he never thought possible. But pushing boundaries comes at a cost and not everyone is pleased to welcome Evelyn and Ahmad into fashionable society. With obstacles spanning between them, the indomitable pair must decide which hurdles they can jump and what matters most: making their mark or following their hearts?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20220311. 650 7 $a Large type books. 650 $a Racially mixed people $v Fiction. 650 $a Horsemanship $v Fiction. 650 $a Dressmakers $v Fiction. 650 $a Interracial couples $v Fiction. 651 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 830 $a Belles of London (LP) ; $v 1. 941 $a 20 945 $a lpt 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020258.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030047.0 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20230526011151.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230321010442.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20221230010602.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20221006011715.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20220927012825.0 952 $l ELPC715 $d 20220809130819.0 952 $l VPPC384 $d 20220802013056.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20220728030746.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728022223.0 952 $l EXPC755 $d 20220727010058.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20220707010206.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20220706010315.0 952 $l FQPC224 $d 20220607011435.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20220428011019.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220412014542.0 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220407023935.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20220405143650.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20220405012638.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F945302B4A711ECBDCF981B5BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
