If the players are evenly matched, romance can be the most exciting game of all.
Over her parents' protests, Lady Augusta Hardy has set her matrimonial sights on a renowned adventurer. With him, she knows she'll live an extraordinary life. But as that gentleman is off exploring, she resigns herself to being courted while waiting for her hero to return. Would-be suitor Julius Price, Lord Boxted, is admittedly handsome, witty, an amazingly good dancer, and extremely well-traveled. In fact, he's a worthy rival for her affections, save for one major drawback: his title would ensure that Augusta ends up living the boring life she so detests. Despite her growing affection for him, she sadly relinquishes all thoughts of marrying Lord Boxted.
From the moment Lady Augusta beats him at chess, Julius is fascinated by the intelligent, strong-willed lady. During the Season, he takes heart as he makes inroads with her affections, determined to win her over. Elated when passion between them sparks, Julius plans to redouble his efforts, until an overheard conversation convinces him Lady Augusta would never be happy with the only life he can offer her.
With a heavy heart, Julius determines he must allow her the freedom she longs for-just as Lady Augusta realizes love has the power to change one's mind. But has she discovered that lesson a little too late?
