American heiress Calliope is only in England because her mother wants her to marry a titled gentleman. Edward is titled and, like many of his generation, his estate is in desperate need of an influx of money—and the quickest fix would come from marrying an heiress. But Calliope doesn’t care about a title, so Edward must make her care about his land or, possibly, his heart.
While the book starts with the main characters meeting on the wrong foot and, of course, includes some miscommunication issues, the real conflict is internal. Calliope must decide whether she wants to take a risk to give up the life she had expected to have or continue to fight to go home. It was interesting to read because there is not a right or wrong answer to this choice, making her confusion that much more relatable. The majority of characters, including Edward, are English, and Calliope and her family are American.
