1818, South England Square...

An Anticipated Wedding…

Content in making her preparations for her coming marriage to Lord Jonathan Humbridge, Lady Bella Marie Cornwall is determined to make her arrangement the talk of Bainbridge society. But when tragedy strikes, prompting her fiancé to return home to London for a time, Bella finds that she can't help but to turn to an old childhood friend for comfort. Even if trouble could arise from her secretly meeting with Joshua Foster…

A Simple Life…

Devastated by the news of her betrothal, Joshua Foster is not fool enough to think his relationship to Lady Bella will remain unchanged. The gardener for the Bellhouse, as his father before him, Joshua has always known that his social standing was far from proper enough to court the daughter of a Duke. Besides, he is a loyal man with a woman of whom he is already seeking affections.

A Complex Situation…

Unable to deny the feeling of guilt that comes from questioning if her marriage to Jonathan would be successful, Bella finds herself torn between the man she loves and the shared feelings for a man she cared for long before. With Bella and Joshua becoming too close for comfort there is no longer time to debate, she must make a decision. Before someone else discovers the truth and destroys her future…

Will Bella go against her better judgement and pursue Joshua, devastating her fiancé and family?

Or will she forget her childish crush and proceed with her marriage to the young Earl, as planned?
