True love's kiss is sweeter than a dream...

Liza cannot forget the one and only kiss she's ever had. Her father's protégé, the widowed Lord Thomas, doesn't remember that kiss three years ago, for he was drowning his sorrow at the loss of his wife with whisky.

Liza can no longer wait for him to notice her. All her friends are married, leaving her behind and with few opportunities for making the acquaintance of new gentlemen. Lord Thomas may not want her, but he might take pity on her and help her find a worthy gentleman. Liza only hopes her heart doesn't break when he places her in the care of another man.
