Beautiful Aurora Hartnell is returning home to Hadleigh Hall for
Christmas. Looking forward to seeing her elderly father Lord
Hartnell again, she ruefully acknowledges that life in the country
is likely to seem rather dull after the elegance of her Finishing
School in fashionable Paris. Resigned to a quieter pace of life,
she is therefore filled with anticipation when she hears that an
eligible bachelor, Lord Moreton, has moved into nearby Elton Hall.
Dreaming of an attractive stranger who will sweep her off her feet,
Aurora is delighted when her father invites the mysterious Lord for
dinner on Christmas Eve. Swept up in a frenzy of excitement, and
determined to look her absolute best, Aurora is so caught up in
romantic dreams she hardly notices that her intimidating
stepmother, Lady Harntell, is behaving oddly. Hypercritical and
quickly irritated, it seems that the only time Lady Hartnell smiles
is when planning the impending dinner, which she insists must be
perfect for his Lordship. But Aurora's dreams are crushed like a
daisy underfoot when she finally meets the man she has pinned all
her hopes upon. A favourite of her father and stepmother's, Aurora
knows instantly that Lord Moreton is not a man she can respect or
give her heart to. Then the dashing Earl of Linford gallops into
Aurora's life. Tall, handsome and with a twinkle in his dark eyes,
she immediately knows that she must put a stop to any notions of a
match between herself and Lord Moreton if she is ever to find
happiness. But how can she extricate herself from Lord Moreton's
increasingly cloying attentions, without disappointing her beloved
father? And just why is her stepmother so keen that they marry
immediately? As the pressure to accept this unwanted proposal
increases, Aurora is caught in an unhappy trap that she struggles
to see a way out of.
