This book is book three of the Cotillion Ball Series. While this book can be read alone the story line is that much richer if you have read The Reluctant Debutante first. You gain background on the characters that appear in this book.This is the story of Basil Fitzpatrick in 1856, St. Louis. He is known as the sophisticated man about town whom no female has been able to capture. None until the arrival of Temperance Jones have interested him enough to give much thought to women. Temperance and her family are traveling to Oregon but have run on hard times. In Basil’s attempt to help the family he ends up being drawn into their problems and a closer relationship with Temperance than he has with other women.An enjoyable read as you follow the troubles of a family with little forced to live on the outskirts of St. Louis and the conflict between Temperance’s pride and the caring spirit of Basil at conflict. Resolution of these problems and conflict keep the reader turning the pages.
