"You truly are one special lady."
Wallflowers symbolize a shy or excluded person at a dance or party, especially a girl without a partner.
Victoria Blackburn lives a lonely and simple life. She is not like most ladies in London, and that is how she likes it. She does not want to be the centre of gossip, but a rumour about her and a lord she does not know well has been made up. Now her house at Lyne Avenue seems to be the place where everyone wants to be.
Andrew Brompton is not liked by the ton, and when a rumour comes out, he does not bother about it. But he feels the need to protect the lady who is in the centre of attention, next to him. He discovers there is much more to her than he initially thought, and that mayhap all rumours are untrue.
Will they be able to see through the superficial façade of rumours and brave the ton, or will they return to their quiet and uneventful life?

Disabled by a dog attack in her childhood, Beatrice Lockwood knows what it is like to become friends with loneliness. After years of hard work to cement herself into the small Yorkshire community of Impling, she has managed to create a meaningful, simple life with people who actually care about her. So when James Bancroft, an outsider, makes his disdain for her clear in front of everyone in town, she knows that keeping her distance is the only option. She cannot afford to lose the crucial support she has garnered. The only problem is that the damned man can't seem to stay away from her now. James Bancroft - stoic, chaste, and looking for nothing but peace - is not trying to make friends in Impling. Still, he had not intended to make enemies, either. After badmouthing a beloved pillar of the community at a dance, he knows he must make amends, and quickly.
