Richard Christopher Radcliffe, the Marquess of Sunderland, the man Miss Cassandra Carlyle has loved since she was a little girl, has returned-with his betrothed in hand. Lady Desiree was the picture of grace, beauty and perfection, everything that the naive, unsophisticated, young Cassandra was not. Dejected and brokenhearted, Cassandra asked her family to take her to London for her first season. With the aid of her friend, Jeremiah Devlin Huntington, Marquess of Waterford, she soon found herself touted as the darling of the ton. Cassandra could not be more pleased with her success, newfound popularity, and impressive list of eligible suitors. Will Richard take notice and come charging in on a white horse? Or will she find love where she least expects it-but is too blind with her childhood infatuation to notice all along?
