Sweet, pretty Thea Brightwell endures a dull and quiet life of servitude as unpaid companion to her rich, crotchety Aunt Brightwell.
However, an invitation to visit Bath in the company of her bold and beautiful Brightwell cousins who have made spectacular rags-to-riches marriages opens up a world of possibilities.
When Thea's well-meaning but not-too-bright Cousin Bertram notices the gleam in the eye of Thea's secret admirer, wealthy, handsome Mr Sylvester Grayling, he's aware the charming rogue requires a potential bride with a dowry before he’ll show interest that may be misconstrued.
But what if Mr Grayling were told that the damsel he covets were destined for her deathbed within six months?
Thea has no idea of the lies Bertram has told the increasingly attentive Mr Grayling but she in turn is growing increasingly susceptible to his naughty but flattering overtures.
Complicating matters are the love letters addressed to 'Miss Brightwell' but intercepted and misinterpreted by an increasingly excited Aunt Brightwell as coming from the gentleman who broke her heart twenty-five years before and who is surely paving the way for a final, heart-rending assignation with her.
Heart-rending and disconcerting are the results, indeed!”
