A widowed advice columnist and an unwitting marquess connect through anonymous letters—but when scandal strikes, can they find love despite the truth?
Lady Jane Harsham has returned to society after her bereavement. Once wed to a gentleman in his dotage, she now finds herself not only a widow but in need of financial security. When an opportunity to write – and be paid for – an advice column in The London Chronicle is offered her, Jane accepts at once. Some of the letters are banal and straightforward but there is one persistent letter writer who asks questions about courting and love… something that Jane is not entirely sure how to answer.
Timothy, the Marquess of Edenbridge, knows that he must marry but feels himself drawn to a match of affection rather than requirement. Uncertain how one ought to go about such things and having stepped badly twice, he writes in desperation to the advice column at The London Chronicle. Soon, he finds himself doing a good deal better, especially with one Lady Harsham, though his interest in the letter writer grows.
When news comes out about his letters to the Chronicle, Timothy does not know who to blame. An astonishing revelation makes him question everything he knows, only to realize that the answer to his troubles might have been right in front of his eyes all along.
