Lady Frances Edgeworth has no time for the games played by the ton. She would prefer to find a man who would treat her as an equal, or to be left alone to her reading and studies. But if she could fall in love with a good man—a reader and a scholar—that would be a different story.
When a chance encounter throws the intellectual Dr. James Merton in her path, sparks fly immediately. Her aunt forbids Frances from encouraging the doctor’s attentions, but a fiery attraction grows between them. As the Lady and the Doctor grow closer, Frances finds herself distracted by a mysterious diary–which contains secrets that could change everything.
