A gentleman the London Ton desires – a newly titled earl. Miles Firth, Earl of Stonewold, prefers cavalry boots to dancing slippers. A former captain, he’s a man of order and command.
And now earl – a reluctant one. Lauded by society as a rugged war hero and most eligible bachelor, his one flaw, in their view, is an avid interest in…plants.
A lady the London Ton disdains – an unconventional spinster.
Miss Verity Seymour would rather be hurtling around Town in her Pomona-green phaeton with her eccentric aunt and ruined cousin than brave a stifling ballroom.
Branded by society as a scandalous spinster, her one merit, in their view, is an artistic talent for…cat portraits. But cats are not Verity’s only portraits…
