Miss Juliette Calloway has spent two-and-twenty years as a ghost in her own home. Sheltered by a grieving father and silenced by a world that has no patience for her stutter, she arrives in London not to find a husband, but to ensure her younger sister's success in the marriage market. Juliette knows her place: in the shadows, behind the pillars, and far from the judgmental whispers of the Ton.
Colin Bridgerton has returned from his travels with a heavy heart and a weary soul. After watching the girl he took for granted find a legendary love with another, he has convinced himself that romance is a beautiful lie-one that was never going to happen to him. He is ready to be the bachelor the world expects, closed off to the possibility of a "happily ever after."
But when he finds a quiet girl hiding in the corner of a loud ballroom, the world stops spinning.
