In the world of the Regency, Christian Elliott, Baron Shrewsbury has it all. Helene Whitcombe has nothing except a prickly slate of feminist principles and a job as a schoolteacher in Lord Shrewsbury's Orphanage for Girls. Pride on both sides separates them, but that doesn't stop the fierce attraction that builds between this unlikely pair. Can the penniless vicar's daughter humble the haughty baron? Or will her uncomfortable principles and his high place in society prove to be insuperable barriers to love?
