One love challenged by two troubled pasts.

As governess for the Duke and Duchess of Greenbriar, Elise never expected to fall in love. She's content in her life, even though she sometimes feels something is missing. When her friend Eduard makes romantic advances, her heart prays she might find that missing element.

Eduard, assistant and sometime confidant to the Duke of Greenbriar, has his eye set on the lovely governess. It has taken him some time to overcome his hesitation over his dwarfism, but finally she has returned his interest. With the Feast of Saint John fast approaching, Eduard and Elise discover and explore their growing love for each other.

But they both have secrets in their pasts, pasts that threaten to shatter their happiness and their future together... or perhaps those pasts might instead save them.
