Selena Lockhart comes with neither fortune nor connections, and she knows better than to expect society to give her a welcome — especially after her father gambled away his fortune, precipitating the family’s sudden fall from grace and Selena’s betrothed to break off the engagement. It therefore comes as no surprise that her new neighbor, Sir Lucius, treats her with disdain. Why should he look beyond appearances when her own promises so little?

As a once happily married woman, Rebecca Parker lived a charmed life, but now widowed and working for a living, she feels alone and lives a mundane existence. That is until the day a valet speeding by on a horse nearly runs her off the road. Mr. Malcolm Henry is apologetic, gentle, and very handsome. She’s instantly drawn to him, which is why, rather than stopping him from kissing her, she finds herself kissing him back, reigniting a nearly forgotten passion in her. But love at first sight only happens in fairy tales - never to an ordinary woman like her.

Nothing surprises or delights her more than to suddenly be named mistress of Rosennor Hall, and from a relation she had never heard of nor met at that. But her elation is short lived, for she is not the only heir to the estate, and the will is very specific. The two of them are to share Rosennor. Together.

Publisher's Summary
A beautiful coming-of-age story with just enough romantic tension to keep you listening late into the night.
Since the death of her mother, Abigail Blakeslee has lost any desire to become a debutante and enter Society. But now, foregoing her first Season has brought an unwanted invitation to join her aunt and cousins for a summer at Timpton House, the large estate of the Stanton family.
Reluctantly accepting, Abigail is thrust into the vexing world of social propriety and matchmaking she had hoped to avoid. More vexing still is her cousin’s suitor, the young Timpton heir - Edwin Stanton. Moody and distant at times, remarkably endearing at others, Edwin seems a puzzle she can never solve, but can never quite put away. But then, Abigail has her own secret to hide - her own mystery to conceal. Perhaps such puzzles are better left unsolved, or perhaps love can find a solution.

I was engrossed
I finished this at three-thirty in the morning. It's a rarity and a pleasure to find one I can't put down. This clean story has excellent interactions, character depth and development, and humor. It was so good, I had to speed up a couple scenes to get closer to knowing what would happen. One reviewer mentioned an unlikeable hero, but in the beginning, I expected him to be that way because of propriety and might have been put off had he acted otherwise. His interesting character soon had me hooked and didn't let me down. His sister was a fun surprise. Another reviewer mentioned the use of the word "I." The author blends those in seamlessly in this first-person point of view, and I barely noticed them because the story was so engrossing and it's wasn't overt.

Wonderful Story & Narration
Jess Heileman is a new author for me. I will definitely be looking for any future releases. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it was difficult to imagine that it was her first release. My hope is that there will be an upcoming story for Laurence and Lydia to come in which we will also get updates on Edwin and Abigail. Highly recommended!
In addition, the narration of the audio version is wonderful!

Love this story
I had the pleasure of reading this book when it first came out. Being able to listen to it has been a real pleasure. I love this story. The characters & the entire story line is well developed & intriguing. Even having previously read it, I still had that anticipation of “will everything work out” like you get with a first reading. If you enjoy Regency Era novels then you will enjoy this story. This is a clean, feel good read that I definitely recommend.
