Eleanor did not come to London to be proper and boring. After becoming a widow at seventeen, she's not looking to remarry quickly, despite pressures from her late husband's nephew, who is keen on obtaining her inheritance. So Eleanor comes up with a plan that includes a fake engagement. But falling for a dashing, quiet man outside of her social circle was not part of the plan. . . Can she survive the Season with her heart and her fortune intact? Thalia is determined to begin afresh after a disastrous first Season in London. No romantic distractions, but only her work as a poet and newfound companion to Eleanor. Determined to get her poems published, she struggles to be taken seriously as a writer. As the spring progresses, Thalia does not expect to take interest in a man from her past (a man who is engaged to her employer, no less!), but some feelings demand to be felt even if the timing isn't quite right.
