Mr. Cyrus Ptolemy Ravensthorpe wants only one thing in his
life: to reclaim his family's status in society, lost after
his mother married a solicitor scandalously below her
station. To do this, Cyrus has a plan, one step of which is
to marry a woman of eminent respectability. Lucy Towerton,
unassuming and proper with a pleasing figure and no
noticeable passions, is the perfect choice. So he meets he
meets her, speaks to her father, and is promptly betrothed
to her. He just might not have remembered to woo her...
Lucy Towerton, known not-so-affectionately as "The Tower" by
the ton for her vertically-gifted appearance, has
recently come into a large, unexpected fortune, and is now
one of the most sought after society misses. Some would say
her transformation wallflower to the belle of the ball is a
real life fairy tale. All Lucy knows is that now she must
break her engagement to the very attractive, but lamentably
untitled Cyrus—a perfectly acceptable fiancé when she
was penniless, but now her mother insists she must aim much
higher.
And even though Lucy is undeniably infatuated with Cyrus,
she will break the engagement. Because no matter how
proper a girl is, she deserves some passion in her life. And
she's not sure Cyrus is the man to provide it. Cyrus,
however, is quite sure that he is....
