## Description

After a failed London Season, Miss Lydia Grenville returns to the country with little hope of finding a love match. She seeks solace in her sketching, often sneaking out of her house to draw in the woods surrounding nearby Winterbourne Castle. — But her peace is disrupted by a rumpled stranger she assumes is the secretary to the new Duke of Winterbourne. His playful intelligence captivates Lydia's heart. Destined to marry a noble, she knows her attraction to this man is quite hopeless and meeting him unaccompanied in the woods is quite scandalous. But such a scandal is nothing compared to the deception that soon comes to light and changes everything.
