Dirk Ander—gentleman, milliner, and baronet—travels to the province in search of inspiration for a new collection. And also to lie low in the wilderness after a capital-city scandal. Amaryllis Tam has the same plans: to go into hiding far from the police in glittering Ancyenvill. And in unhurried Briar, she’s sure to find something to do. And you, good sir—don’t you need a helper? What, can Ami sew something up?..
Of course, of course! A button, or even an ex!
