Prudence Merridew, the oldest of the brood, is a plain, brown wren compared to her dazzlingly beautiful sisters. But renowned rake, Gideon, Lord Carradice, doesn't see her as plain; instead, he thinks she is beautiful. And, even though he swore he'd didn't believe in love and would never, ever marry, he pursues Prudence. But Prudence is secretly betrothed to another man whom she hasn't seen in four years. Gideon, determined to win her, told Prudence that he would wait for her until he was "old and gray."
This is a wonderful story; a lot of sadness and a touch of humor. I should have read this one before I read its sequel, "The Perfect Waltz," but they are both excellent stories.
