Linnet and Arabella Wallace spent twenty years of their lives apart, without knowing they had a twin sister. However, fate meant for them to find each other again and realise that, despite their identical looks, their social worlds could not be more dramatically different. Linnet spent her life in a small village, enjoying the wide fields and unfettered sky. On the other hand, Arabella has been raised as the only child of a duke and since his death, she has been cared for by an aloof distant relative. Linnet's world turns upside down though, when she meets Arabella's dashing guardian and her heart flutters for the first time. Could she really be falling this fast for a man as cold and detached as he seems? And what of Arabella, who has met somebody her guardian will only disapprove of?
Henry Garret is a man of few words, who has always taken his job of being guardian to the young debutant extremely seriously. That is, until his life is wonderfully enriched by the arrival of Linnet, whose kind soul makes his heart leap. He soon finds himself drawn into the story of the two girls, and captivated by the vibrantly free village girl. However, he cannot allow himself to be distracted by her magnetic beauty, as he should be focused on his duties of guardianship. Yet, the breathtaking Linnet will start haunting his dreams and make him think that a chance at love may be within reach at last... Will he finally break free from his own constrictions and admit his powerful feelings for her? To top things off, how will he react when he finds out that Arabella has also fallen deeply in love with a man under his nose? Linnet and Henry come from two different worlds, but neither can deny their special connection for much longer. When a dangerous man makes himself known in the lives of the girls, Henry finds himself torn between his love for Linnet and his duty to Arabella. Will Henry cast aside his cold, rigid nature and confess his feelings to the woman he has come to care so deeply about? Will both Linnet and Arabella finally have a chance to discover the everlasting love they deserve?
