Matilda Ayles is not a woman of nobility, but her heart has always beaten for a charming Marquess ever since she was a child. But when she suddenly finds out the striking news that her childhood sweetheart is engaged to another, her hopes dissolve and her heart is torn apart. Is there anything left to let her believe that the door to his heart might one day be open again, or has she lost him forever?
