Handsome, inarticulate Frank Newnham asks for his cousin, Christian's help when he woos Rosanne Lacy by letter. Rosanne falls for Frank's delicious prose, but when they meet in person at a ducal house party, Rosanne can't understand why Frank seems so . . . dull. And why is she drawn to the dark, brooding Earl of Bruton, with his scarred face and air of melancholy?
This 32,000 words Regency novella was inspired by
