  UK Edition:
  
  If all the young ladies who yearned after handsome Viscount Mainwaring were laid end to end, they  would reach John O'Groats.  And so Miss Rachel Irvine, plain, penniless and recently returned from the Crimea where she had been nursing with the Viscount's sister, rebuffs his friendship at every opportunity.  For it would be too easy to fall in love with such a man - and Rachel knows that in the eyes of his family she could never be good enough for him...
