It has been twelve years since Elinor Burke has seen her stepmother. The eighteen-year-old girl has accustomed herself to the company of her neighbors and the dwindling staff of Meadowbrooke Cottage. But with the arrival of the Earl of Berdwell at the neighboring estate, Mrs. Burke upends Ellie's life with a selfish plot.

Alexander Turner has taken up the role of being steward to his cousin, the earl. He's come to the country to play his part and earn his keep. Meeting the cheerful and beautiful Miss Ellie is an unexpected bonus, but he has been charged with a serious responsibility. The Earl of Berdwell is guardian to a Miss Burke he has never met, and the girl's stepmother is making things difficult.

In the countryside, anything can happen. Especially when a masquerade ball is on the horizon.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
