Being nearsighted in Regency London isn't a crime - but it feels like one to a lady in disgrace.
Young Meg Linley can barely see and is forbidden to wear spectacles. When she accidentally cuts the prince's friend Beau Brummell at a ball, the scandal sends her packing to the countryside. Her faulty eyesight causes her to enter the wrong coach, which delivers her to the estate of handsome Lord Bryn. He mistakes her for the governess who was due to arrive from London.
Preferring work over a life of isolation, she goes along with the erroneous impression, and can't help adoring his mischievous orphaned niece and nephew. When Meg begins falling in love with the handsome lord just as he's about to become engaged to another woman, however, she can't see a way out of her dilemma.
This is a lighthearted tale in the traditional Regency style - no sex, but plenty of romantic complications and a happy ending. It has been lightly revised since its original print publication.
Genre: Romance
