"I assume you do not mind improper behavior, giving you are a Brompton."

Lilacs symbolize confidence, which makes them a traditionally popular gift for graduates. There are many meanings that lilacs have that can best be classified by colour. White lilacs represent youthful innocence. Blue lilacs symbolize happiness and tranquillity. Lilac, the colour for which this flower is named, is a light purple that symbolizes a first love. 

Mary Brompton is not young anymore, although she behaves like she is. She is expected to court her best friend's brother, but she does not like him like people think she does. She wants to be free and fully a woman, not a fancy lady who needs the protection of a man.
Eli Byron is not the best man in London. He has a reputation of danger, drinks and many ladies. Hiding behind the greatness of his father, has become second nature to him. He has a family that has hope for him, but he does not share that feeling.
They are different on every level and they put that to the test - literally. But does becoming close to each mean discovering the truth they are both hiding?
