Effervescent bon vivant Lucy Eastlake is a young operetta singer
whose star is on the rise in Edwardian London. Though struggling to
maintain her beloved great-aunts? household, she holds fast to the
belief that ?things will work out.? Now, with the fiftieth
anniversary of a siege her great-aunt Lavinia lived through
approaching, it looks like Lucy is right, because a fortune is due
to be divided among the survivors. All Lucy and her great-aunts
have to do is travel to a small Pyrenees town to claim Lavinia's
share of a fabulous treasure in rubies. What could be more
simple?
Professor Ptolemy Archibald Grant is the brilliant, straitlaced
grandson of a British lord who also withstood the siege. When his
grandfather asks him as a matter of honor to escort his old love on
the journey, the about-to-be married professor agrees, not
expecting Lucy to be part of the bargain. Losing the great-aunts en
route, the handsome, buttoned-down professor finds himself caught
up in Lucy's quirky, bewildering, and probably illegal efforts to
reunite with them, as he is drawn further and further into an
inexplicable infatuation with the free-spirited singer. What could
be more complicated?
But when unwilling attraction gives way to sizzling passion,
both will be forced to confront the ages-old question of whether
love trumps honor?or the other way around.
