After Pamela Ashburton's dreams of a London Season meet with disaster at her very first ball, and her humiliation exaggerated by the unfeeling attitude of her mother and sister, Pamela goes to live with an aunt in Worcestershire. Four years later, she is well on her way to spinsterhood.
Will Forsythe, a veteran of the Peninsular War, retreats to Worcestershire in the hope a quiet, solitary life will heal more than his physical wounds. But it's the Christmas season, and he finds himself faced with a damsel distressingly in need of help to gather mistletoe for her aunt's Twelfth Night Ball. As an officer and a gentlemen, he has only one option.
Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content).
