What this book is about
Rhys Winterborne, a self-made Welsh businessman, and Lady Helen Ravenel are engaged despite vastly different worlds. The Ravenels series is slightly more explicit than the Wallflowers — Kleypas's later work tends toward more open-door content. Helen's sheltered upbringing and Rhys's rough origins make for genuine emotional depth.
