A book that
starts with a damsel in distress, rescued by a hero on a horse, and they end
their night together in the same bed at an inn? Well, that is darn near a
perfect meet cute in any book. Setting such event in the ton, well, you know
where this is going!
Hidden identities
are swept away as societal demands are put in place, and then, well, then we
get to the heart of the matter. Wescott isn’t as mean as he seems, he is
actually quite a sweetie deep down. Ophelia isn’t as sweet as she seems, but
she is confused and wary as her world is ripped away. And they both fumble,
and assume, and mistake, the other. Corporal punishment for being saucy to
your husband is on the table, and his lap, and the bedpost, and in the carriage.
That adds to the whole mess, as it has the opposite effect on them both from
what they assumed
Friends are
misplaced, and others rise to help. Family is adding pressure, and others are
trying to relieve it. Lucky for Wescott and Ophelia, Papa remembers the
mistakes he made in the past, and helps both of them overcome their hesitancy
and set them on the right path. Once nudged in the right direction, what was
there between them all along blossoms and blooms!
