Then she meets a mysterious gentleman, who leads her on a romp through the ballrooms and countryside of Georgian England. Their romance blossoms but secrets cause Francesca's house of cards to tumble. She must find a way to put her life back together, while still following her heart.
Made it about 15% through before I gave up. The pacing was just too slow for my liking and it felt like the characters just talked and talked and talked without the story going anywhere. I don't mind long bits of dialogue as long as I feel like I'm getting something out of it - chatting (both in fiction and in real life) needs to advance the plot in some way, otherwise my eyes tend glaze over and my mind starts to wander.
