Society beauty Sylvia Stafford is far too pragmatic to pine. When the tragic death of her gamester father leaves her destitute and alone, she finds work as a governess in a merchant's household in Cheapside. Isolated from the fashionable acquaintance of her former life, she resigns herself to lonely spinsterhood until a mysterious visitor convinces her to temporarily return to her former life'and her former love.Colonel Sebastian Conrad is no longer the dashing cavalry officer Sylvia Stafford fell in love with. Badly scarred during the Sepoy Rebellion, he has withdrawn to his estate in rural Hertfordshire where he lives in near complete seclusion. Brooding and tormented, he cares nothing for the earldom he has inherited'and even less for the faithless beauty who rejected him three years before.A week together in the isolated Victorian countryside is the last thing either of them ever wanted. But when fate intervenes to reunite them, will a beastly earl and an impoverished beauty finally earn their happily ever after? Or are some fairy-tale endings simply not meant to be?
