Miss Abby Fairchilde is painfully shy. She can't bear the thought of enduring another London Season. She has a boring, worthy suitor in Lord Fielding. Her sister urges her to accept his suit and she supposes she will, not having any reason to reject Lord Fielding.

But then, everything changes. Lord Darlington remembers her from last Season! His impulsive, beautiful sister, Lady Bethany, wants to be her best friend! Abby's placid life is completely turned around. Suddenly, she's swept up by intrigue and romance.

An unwise choice puts her at the mercy of an unscrupulous fortune hunter.

But Lord Darlington isn't about to lose the lovely young woman he loves and intends to make his own.
