⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Frederica Stanford has been obsessed with the boy next-door nearly all her life. That put her in grave danger at one point and she still suffers from the after effects. Now many years later her affections haven't changed but she knows she's not of his class and will never be good enough for him.
Viscount Hawthorne Stiles has always, known about the little girl who watched him, but he ignored her until the day his friends went too far in their teasing. The shame of that day will stay with him for years.
Our heroine is an incredibly strong woman with unshakable faith in those she loves. She will sacrifice anything for them.
I have never disliked a so called hero of a book as much as this one. He is selfish, stubborn stuffed full of his own importance. Considering his duties as a Magistrate he really should be more observant. I really don't see what our fabulous heroine sees in him.
I did need the tissues for the more emotional times. There were also times I would have gladly slapped the hero.
A very enjoyable story. I loved it.
