(Anne Gracie)

Publicidade
An eccentric merchant attempts to romance a dowdy suffragist despite his attraction to an effervescent society beauty in Napoleonic Era London.Sebastian Reyne was a man who took his duty seriously. The oldest child of a spoiled aristocrat and a delicate dreamer, Bastian was forced to grow up quickly. While their father attempted one impractical scheme after another and their mother lived in a fantasy world, young Bastian looked after his hapless parents and three younger siblings (Jimmy, Cassandra and Doreen).Tragedy soon took its toll. Bastian?s parents died within months of each other, leaving their children to make their way as best they were able. The housekeeper looked after their little sisters during the day while Bastian and Jimmy worked in one of the local mills. After his brother was killed in a work related accident, Bastian vowed to improve conditions for all underage workers. Obsessed with redeeming himself, Bastian threw himself into his work. Meanwhile, the housekeeper disappeared with the girls. By the time he found them, gentle Cassie had turned suspicious and belligerent while little Dorrie started at shadows and retreated into herself.Bastian decided the girls needed a practical, kind woman as a mother figure; so, he set about romancing the patron of an orphanage. Lady Elinore Whitelaw was a woman who understood the harsh realities of life. She would help his sisters cope with whatever trauma had scarred them. It did not matter that Bastian was not drawn to her. He would not allow his personal feelings to interfere with his sisters? welfare.Hope Merridew behaved as if she didn?t have a care in the world.

When handsome, mysterious Sebastian Reyne asked her to waltz, she agreed never expecting to see him again. Then they kept running into each other. She was surprised to discover that her sister Grace was acquainted with Bastian?s sisters. Hope understood tragedy better than most. She knew the signs well. Cassie was so secretive and defensive.
