When Randall Cheltenham, Marquess of Falconbridge last saw Cecelia Thompson she was the love of his life, but circumstances forced them apart and her to the US as a married woman, she's back but she's hiding a lot of things, including the fact that she's broke and now he's trying to convince her into a dalliance, but she can't afford the scandal, she needs to find a good marriage for the girl she's escorting, and possibly find herself a future. She's attracted to Randall still but can they build bridges back to each other.

It was interesting and the characters sparked against each other but it wasn't very clear to me why they split up in the first place and why he seemed to be very wishy washy. I didn't really feel him as a complete person but still they made a good couple. ( )
