About this ebook

"James and Aurelia's love story is a complex journey of romance, intrigue, and self-discovery, brimming with evocative details of late Victorian life."— Teresa Grant, author of Imperial Scandal

A single waltz led her to the love of her life...but is she willing to betray her twin sister to capture his heart?

Aurelia wasn't hiding exactly. She just needed to get out of the crush of the ballroom—away from the people staring at her scar, pitying her limp. She was still quite enjoying the music from the conservatory. And then a complete stranger—dashing, debonair, kind—asked her to waltz. In the strength of his arms, she felt she could do anything. But both would be leaving London soon...

When they meet again a year later, everything has changed. She's no longer a timid mouse. And he's now a titled gentleman—with a fiancée. Is the magic of one stolen moment, one undeniable connection enough to overcome a scandal that would set Society ablaze and tear their families apart?

Ratings and reviews

London, May 1890 She'd met him while she was in the conservatory, not wanting to be amoung people who would just look at her and feel pity. Of course her twin was dancing and enjoying herself. Then she met him. James Trelawayand he asked her to dance. Aurelia had not feel this way before. He held her so she would not stumble with her limp, but she knew she might never see him again. Aurelia and her twin Amelia had come from America and were being hosted by their Godmother. One year later after Aurelia had gone to restore her health and came back to London confident and feeling so much better. But she finds her sister is engaged to the man she had waltzed with and now he is an Earl, having inherited recently. She could not believe it! She had thought of him so many times and hoped to see him again. What she did not know was that James had thought of her too. His cousins death had been a little suspicious and this leads to a mystery. A story of two kindred spirits who were meant for each other, if only they can admit and find a way. I truly enjoyed this book so much and look forward to reading more by this author!
