Lady Nicola Fitzgibbons has
traveled all across the world at her diplomatic father2527s side. No matter where
she goes or what she does, she always causes scandal.

Thomas Cartwright lives in London and
wants nothing more than to become a respectable barrister and make his adopted
parents proud. He and Nicola are childhood friends. He cares deeply for her,
but her scandalous actions have made the London papers, even though she2527s in
another country. For the sake of his future and career in politics, he broke
ties with Nicola through a letter. When she finally returns to London, she
turns his quiet world upside down and everything he2527s ever wanted is on the
verge of ruination.

I really like Thomas. He2527s
an honorable, respectable man who wants to do good things with his life. I
couldn2527t connect with Nicola. She2527s immature, irresponsible, and a flirt with
no care as to whose life she affects. I felt sorry for her, but she brought her
problems on herself.

The novella starts with
and ends with a series of letters between the H/h to show at first their
friendship and then their romantic relationship as the years pass. Though the
letters were interesting, I would2527ve preferred a prologue and epilogue to have
shown the same things.

Overall, it2527s a good story
with an interesting plot, but the heroine was too flamboyant for my tastes.
