description: Cumberland 1786Amateur inventor Kester Barrington prefers the peace and quiet of his estate to the bustle of Society. But when his tight-knit group of friends the Gents descends on Livingsley Hall for their annual gathering he stoically joins in their activities. It all seems exhaustinguntil an unexpected addition to the party catches his eye: his new neighbor the lovely Violet.Violet Ridley longs to make friends in this new corner of the country but her familys fortune was made through investments rather than inheritance and Society can be fickle. So when tragedy forces her family to shelter at neighboring Livingsley Hall Violet is delighted to receive a warm welcome from the Gents. In particular she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kester. The pair is a study in contrasts: Violet with her sunny disposition and Kester with his prickly facade. Their connection is impossible to deny but both Kester and Violet harbor heavy constraints. As their association becomes increasingly tangled and confused their only hope of pursuing a life together is to trust one another with the very truths that could tear them apart.
