A sparkling romance set in Regency Bath…

Strong-willed, vivacious and impulsive, Selina Templeton is determined to break free from the narrow confines of her life. She is happiest when eavesdropping at doors, or standing on the roof of Number 1 Royal Crescent dreaming of how she could change the world. Perhaps she might reform the prisons, or abolish slavery?

George Fitzgerald is a good friend of Selina’s brother, Henry. Clever and gentle, he is training to be a medical doctor, and is happiest in the company of his beloved horse, Trigger. He has worshipped Selina from afar for many a year, too shy to declare himself. Will he ever pluck up the courage?

When George and Selina are seated next to each other at a dinner party, hopes for the perfect romance to blossom are high – but despite an initial physical attraction, Selina judges George to be both dull and conceited. What could she possibly have in common with someone this tedious? And George persists in his belief that he has no hope of capturing the heart of the goddess-like Selina.

Will love find a way to break through, before a mysterious enemy takes his revenge?
