Can headstrong Marianne find her place in respectable society?
Regency England: Marianne Carstairs has unexpectedly inherited a fortune from a father she has never known.
In the will, her trustee—Marquess Justin Raymond—is tasked with introducing her into respectable society.
But as the manager of her family's farm, Marianne is reluctant to leave behind her life of freedom and independence. What's more, she finds Justin high-handed and stubborn.
At the insistence of her grandfather, Marianne agrees to stay with Justin and his family at their Somerset estate, Lunswick Hall.
But as their relationship grows stormy, Justin sees that it might prove impossible to turn his ward into a debutante . . .

As a once happily married woman, Rebecca Parker lived a charmed life, but now widowed and working for a living, she feels alone and lives a mundane existence. That is until the day a valet speeding by on a horse nearly runs her off the road. Mr. Malcolm Henry is apologetic, gentle, and very handsome. She’s instantly drawn to him, which is why, rather than stopping him from kissing her, she finds herself kissing him back, reigniting a nearly forgotten passion in her. But love at first sight only happens in fairy tales—never to an ordinary woman like her.

Elena MacKinnon has spent the last seven years training to become a proper English lady. When her childhood friend, Captain Theo Donovan, returns from serving in the Navy, he brings along with him Elena’s humiliation for the ill-advised and ardent love letter she wrote him before his departure, which he ignored entirely. Elena hopes to simultaneously stifle his memory of the letter and make him regret overlooking her, showing him just how fine an English lady she can be. The only problem? She is not English but a proud Scot—and her heart may be more enamored with Theo than ever.

Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

Wonderful plot set up but the story gets bogged down until the end.
The “Impossible Ward” has a wonderful beginning and plot setup; but unfortunately the bulk of the story gets bogged down in overly descriptive conversations that fail to move the story along.
Other than the satisfying ending, this is not one of Dorothy Mack’s better books. I recommend you try one of her other books; like “The Gangsters Daughter,” if you’re looking for a Georgette Heyer style book.
