In Berkshire, England the year is 1774, and it's been ten years since Pippa (Lady Philippa Hatfield) has seen the man who was her lover, now Admiral Sir Elliott Lord. Widowed, she encounters Elliott at a ball. He well remembers her--the woman who loved him and left him, the woman he never forgot. It turns out she left him so he wouldn't have to give up the dog he loved, the dog to which she was very allergic. But now they are together again, and Elliot, who never married, is determined to never let her go.Beautifully written with some of the characters from her novels (Christian Lord, Brenden Merrick and the Blackheath clan), this is a "second chance" glimpse into the life of a woman who tried to do something unselfish and lost her only love, now to regain it again. A great short story with a very sexy love scene. If I had any complaint it would be that I wanted more!
