Shy and stammering Meg Burton-Smythe has spent the whole of her life living on the fringes of local society. Sheâs more comfortable with her daydreams than she is with people. But when a dashing, golden-haired hero rides to her rescue one morning, she dares to hope that her dreams might finally come true. Thereâs only one problem: her handsome rescuer is the son of her fatherâs sworn enemy.
Ivo Beresford doesnât believe in clinging to the past. Freshly returned from a lengthy grand tour, heâs looking to the future, eager to spearhead the building of a new railway extension in Somersetshire. But an unexpected encounter with Miss Burton-Smythe, the isolated only daughter of his parentsâ oldest foe, sets the past and the future colliding.
Resolved to put ancient grudges to restâat least where innocent young ladies are concernedâIvo encourages lonely Meg to embark on a secret acquaintance. After all, what harm can a friendship do? It isnât as though thereâs any danger of the two of them falling in loveâĶ
