A young woman, a foolish love, a devastating change in circumstance. A selfless act. A new beginning. An everlasting love.
Miss Letitia Fitzwilliam was unfortunate enough to love the wrong man - and be discovered. Now she has no hopes of marrying a Duke and must work for her aunt in her milliner's shop. With high society lost to her forever she is bitter, broken and filled with despair. In hopes of helping Letitia's heart mend, her aunt suggests a Christmas visit to an old friend, in a town away from London, where Letitia can find solace.
Mr Percy Timmins is a talented designer of bonnets and more, and stands to inherit his grandfather's shop in Upper Nettlefold. He works tirelessly to ensure that his grandfather's legacy is not lost - but that is a lonely task.
In Upper Nettlefold, Letitia meets a young lady pining for a gentleman and Letitia decides to help her. That act of charity takes her to 'Timmins Ribbons and Bonnets', and she is startled to find herself facing a young man whom had once visited her aunt's shop - the man whom, despite being of the merchant class had stayed in her thoughts ever since.
Can Letitia accept the reality of her life, and grasp the chance for love, even with a working man and not a gentleman of the ton? Or will her long held pretensions to something more, make her blind to the chance before her?
