Her mama, though, has other ideas. She insists on presenting her oldest daughter in society to secure a rich husband who will support the nearly bankrupt estate and preserve her older brother's inheritance. However, Elenora is not like either her younger sisters or the other debutantes. In a time before autism was understood, she's very much \"on the spectrum\" and has no idea why she doesn't feel things the way others do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack Deveril, Viscount Broxbourne, is nearing his fortieth year, and has so far successfully evaded predatory mamas' attempts to ensnare him for one of their daughters. He lives a charmed life with a small but productive estate in Wiltshire, his latest mistress in a London town house, and a clique of like-minded friends. His life is perfect. But Jack has a secret. Living in his own house in London is the child of the actress he once loved, who was already married to a scoundrel who'd abandoned her. She died giving life to Jack's son, little Edward, and Jack has sworn to bring him up with every advantage his mother never had.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Jack and Elenora find themselves in a compromising position at a ball, their parents demand that he make an honest woman of her.
