Lady Adelia lives a repressed life, ruled by a strict father and a prim governess - but she is a sunny soul who rises above the gloom, helped by a secret stash of scandalous romance novels.

One afternoon, she overhears her parents plotting her future - an arranged marriage to a man named Cyril.

'Cyril' sounds dreadfully unromantic to starry-eyed Adelia. So she pours her hopes into a handsome gipsy she meets one day in the woods.

But when Adelia comes out in London society, dreams collide with duty.

Will she succumb to her parents' plans - or find the courage to follow her heart?

If you love fast-paced historical romantic comedies with feisty heroines and a dash of mischief, you'll enjoy this spirited novella.
