Miss Miranda Bartley is in love with the Honorable Ethan Roderick, their engagement all but official. But as she basks in the success of her London Season, her joy is cut short when Ethan ends their courtship, claiming she is too insensitive. In the wake of her heartbreak, Miranda is dealt yet another blow, one that changes everything. In a harsh twist of fate, she quickly falls from Society darling to servant in her uncle’s home.
Believing he will never see Miranda again, Ethan is shocked when he encounters her by accident. Even more surprising is her dramatic change; she is no longer the self-centered young woman he left behind. Her eyes are now open to the plight of poverty surrounding her, and Miranda has become every bit the lady Ethan once imagined her to be. As he helps the woman he once loved, their tattered relationship returns to familiarity. But Ethan is determined to protect his heart and begins a courtship with his neighbor, who is predictable and safe—everything Miranda is not. Forced to perform a delicate dance, Miranda and Ethan must choose—follow the rules of Society or the longing of their hearts.

This is not your average regency romance. This is a beautiful story of forgiveness, love, and the courage and humility it takes to become a better version of yourself. Told from a dual perspective, the story comes alive with complex characters, an engaging plot full of twists and turns, and a sweet love story. I loved the focus on the different types of relationships and how they all became more meaningful as the characters realized that no only that they needed to change, but accepted that they could. I truly could not put this one down. Highly recommend to any fan of regency romance!!
