There she is enchanted by the whirl of parties and balls, of new dresses, new manners and new faces. With gentlemen like Edward Pendarly, and witty Sir Tracy Calendar vying for her attention, Althea is enjoying herself for the first time in her young life. Then Sir Tracy hints that there's something not quite right about Mr. Pendarly's attention; Althea herself notices that her sister's marriage is foundering; and even the fascinating Sir Tracy seems to have secrets.The harder she tries to sort out the puzzles around her, the more tangled Ally's own life becomes. Is there a way to sort out her troubles...and her heart?
