Fleeting Fancy

From the ashes of humiliation, can true love bloom?

When dashing and audacious Lord Severn takes pleasure to its extremes, he leaves behind a wake of broken hearts and regrets. His most notorious act? Deceiving the sweet Primula Greetwell into a false marriage, and audaciously leaving her at her parents' threshold with nothing but a mocking bow and laughter. Such antics cannot continue unchecked. It's time for the infamous rake to face the music.

Banished for a decade to India and yearning to return to England, Lord Severn's father presents his wayward son with a daunting ultimatum. Either marry the woman of his choosing, sight unseen, or be permanently exiled, stripped of family, title, and fortune. Lord Severn, albeit reluctantly, agrees to wed. Little does he realize that his chosen bride is none other than the previously scorned Primula, who accepts this pact with motivations of her own.

As they navigate this precarious union, Primula is strictly advised to feign ignorance of their shared past. This leaves Severn perplexed by her calm demeanor, igniting a fresh intrigue between them. Yet, complications arise in the form of Severn's young nephew, who idolizes the rakish ways of his uncle and encounters another innocent teetering on the brink of society's ruin.

Dive into a world of high society, hidden motives, and unexpected relationships. In this tale of redemption, passion, and schemes, will a match that seems doomed from the start pave the way for unforeseen love and understanding?
