[Machine Translation] London, 1816. It all began with a dinner party given by Lady Neely.

A shy young lady exchanges words with the prodigal count of her dreams, and a viscount and his wife meet for the first time in 12 years. What will be the outcome of each love story? And what is the truth about the missing bracelet? Four love stories by four popular authors, including Julia Quinn, in this RITA Award-winning novel.
