"A sexy, historical novella with beautiful English prose and a very enjoyable ending..."Clara is a headstrong Victorian girl with a problem, she's soon to marry a man she doesn't love, and about to be shipped off to India. For help, she appeals to Ned, the working-class upstart who just inherited the farm next-door. Clara doesn't intend to hurt Ned, or use him, but he soon develops feelings of great intensity for her. When they are caught in a compromising position the fireworks begin. Clara is the daughter of a lord - she can't court a working-class man - even if he's (sometimes) a perfect gentleman. A scandal erupts that threatens to engulf Ned and Clara. Can the young lovers win the right to be together?
