LADY ELIZABETH DEVENTON enters her third season with two refused proposals behind her and the scrutiny of the ton firmly upon her. Beautiful, accomplished and sister to a royal duchess, she has every reason to expect an exceptional match. There is only one problem. For most of her life, Elizabeth has been in love with her closest friend. COLIN BRIDGERTON has always dreamed of distant horizons. Restless, charming and determined to discover his purpose, he believes marriage may offer the direction he has been searching for. But the woman who captures his attention is not the one who has spent years quietly loving him. Colin and Elizabeth have shared everything since childhood: summers at Aubrey Hall, secrets whispered beside the Deventon pianoforte and dreams of the lives they might one day lead. To Colin, Elizabeth has always been his dearest friend-the one person he trusts will remain beside him, no matter where his ambitions take him. But Elizabeth can no longer build her future around the hope that he might eventually see her. The season of 1813 will force Colin and Elizabeth to confront the truth they have avoided for years: Some promises are easy to make in childhood.
