Charlotte, younger sister of the Earl of Stenwick, is tired of the endless round of parties that are part of the London Season, yet she wants to marry, so feels she has no choice. Her special abilities make her feel that most members of the ton are liars and unfit for anyone to live with. When she makes a wish on the fountain by the lake at her ancestral home, she laughs at herself, knowing it could never come true. Anthony never felt much for his first wife having only married her to please his parents and refill the family's coffers. During her life, he remained true to her in every way, but after her death, he feels free to pursue the woman he is most interested in—Charlotte, his closest friend's sister. Will he be able to convince her he's not like other men and earn her trust? Or will she pass up her chance at true love forever?
