As her first London Season looms before her, the
thought of the impending social whirl fills Daphne
Lancaster's timid heart with dread. She hasn't her
sisters' beauty nor their talent for conversing easily. Even her family's enviable connections may not be
enough to prevent disaster.
But Daphne's misery turns to surprised delight
when the first event of her Season brings an
unexpected visitor to her door—James Tilburn,
whose tender kindness stole her heart in her youth.
When the handsome young gentleman expresses his
desire to court her, Daphne is elated. Their feelings
for each other quickly grow, and it appears that,
much to Daphne's disbelief, her happily ever after is
within reach.
Yet nothing is as it seems. The couple finds themselves
caught in a tangled web of greed and deceit, leaving
James and Daphne to determine whether they are
willing to risk everything for true love.
