In 1854 London, the surviving bachelors discuss their wager of one pound each and a bottle of cognac with one down (see LITTLE BIT WICKED) and three to go as to who will be the Last Man Standing. Lord Nigel Cavendish expects to win easily as he only dallies with married or widowed women though he recognizes that some time in a far distant future he will need an heir.
As Nigel escapes out of a bedroom window followed by a gunshot, the neighbor, astronomer Lady Felicity Melville, wishes upon a star for a man to take her on the grandest of adventures. She thinks the rake is her fate so she boldly tells him how to escape through her garden. Later she obtains an ally in her plan to become Lady Cavendish, his twin sister, Maddy. As the two women become friends they execute a plan that would make the military envious while Nigel's father turns over management of the family estate to him.
The second Victorian Last Man Standing romance is a wonderful historical starring a delightful lead couple. The whimsical use of fate ably abetted by the amateur astronomer and her new ally makes the tale fresh and especially fun to read. Though the prime male character overdoes the "I don't want to be married" routine, readers will enjoy bachelor number two losing the bet but winning much more.
