Miss Fanny Fairbanks lost her love in the war, and currently goes through life carefully, lest the ton discovers their love child. The last thing she expected was to encounter a gentleman that looked exactly like her lost love, Simon Gracely, at a ball! She is certain that it is he. Worse this gentleman acts as if he does not know her.
Determined to uncover what is happening, Fanny hatches a daring kidnapping plan which sees her secreted away with the new Viscount Havisham at a cottage for several nights. She hopes to restore his memory and their love…or the courage to tell him goodbye.
