A case of mistaken identity would change both their lives forever... Miss Millicent Silverstone has always believed herself to be a simple, unassuming farmer's daughter. She never dreamed that the special attention Lady Gillingham always showed her was anything more than neighborly fondness. When that attention turned to sending Millie along to Nedworth Hall as a companion for her daughter, Lady Eleanor, Millie was flattered and amazed...at first. The summer house party adventure begins beautifully when Millie meet a charming valet named David...except her new friend isn't a valet at all, and she isn't the lady he believed her to be either... David Sawyer, the Duke of Foxley, would rather be anywhere but at Nedworth Hall for the summer. New to his position as a duke, he would rather be tackling the problems of his home farms than being chased after by the likes of Lady Eleanor. After their first, embarrassing encounter, his heart can only belong to Millie, but she is both too far below him to court and too good and pure to make his mistress. He is just about to give up the house party and return home...when he learns the secret of who Millie truly is. It is up to David to reveal to Millie who she truly is, but will the revelation break her heart or leave them free to love each other? And can he protect her...and himself...from Lady Eleanor?

What the audience sees is only half the drama... A lost wager leads to a smoldering night of passion...but when the two men meet in the light of day and have to work together, disaster strikes. Florizel Holland was born and raised in the Theatre and has spent his entire life surrounded by "colorful" people. His devotion to those people shows not only in his position as stage manager for the Drury Lane Theater and his dedication to its current production, but in the way he gives everything he has to the home for retired actors he helped to establish.

But losing himself for the night to a mysterious newcomer to town changes everything... Librarian Oliver Penhurst has been on the back foot ever since inheriting the title Earl of Headington. His venture into London was supposed to be so that he could learn from his old university friends how to be a nobleman.
