Everyones a player in this love match.
Miss Anna Smythe is planning a romantic wedding to rememberonly its not her own. After a youthful indiscretion left her with a broken heart and a tarnished reputation, Anna is more than content to sit on the sidelines and watch those around her find their perfect match. When her father, Sir John, informs the family that hes ready for a second chance at romance with his childhood sweetheart, Anna is overjoyed to spend the summer with her future in-laws dreaming up a swoony future for the fortunate couple. Unfortunately, her happiness is not shared by everyone.
Lord Jacob Wrights family may have come from nothing, but now that hes stumbled upon a title, hes not willing to mix with just anyone. The former journalist and new viscount can spot a fortune hunter from a mile away and Sir John is definitely one who has the audacity to set his sights on Jacobs mother! A marriage between Sir John and Rose Wright will never happennot on Jacobs watch. Even when the Smythe family moves into Jacobs home for a month, he is determined to kill the fledgling romance on the vine.
However, Jacob never anticipated Smythes daughter being a more than worthy adversary for his romance-poisoning plans. Anna believes in the older couples love even more than Jacob distrusts it and routinely thwarts all of his attempts to douse its growing flames.
To make matters worse, the more Jacob spends time with the starry-eyed Anna, the more he realizes she isnt just another fanciful chit hell-bent on match-making. The delightfully enticing woman has a history, and Jacob soon discovers that Sir John isnt the one person grappling with second chances. When an old flame reemerges in Annas life, resolute in starting where they left off, Jacob is determined to keep Anna by his side. Changing tact, Jacob becomes the romantic, fixed on showing Anna that even with his surly behavior and obstinate ways hes the only man for her.
Can a few charming picnics, a hermits cottage, and chance encounters with circus strongwomen keep Anna from wondering about what might have been with her old flame?
Will the bonds of young love be too tight for Anna to break, or can Jacob help her see that the best love is yet to come?
