From ugly duckling to beautiful swan
Eliza Hammond has always been quiet and reserved-hardly the best
qualities for finding the man of her dreams and living happily ever
after. A new heiress, Eliza is financially secure, courtesy of her
aunt's fortune, but even great wealth has its drawbacks since every
greedy, fortune-hunting bachelor suddenly finds Eliza irresistible.
To help her best friend, Violet takes Eliza's romantic dilemma into her
own hands, enlisting the social skills of her brother-in-law, Lord
Christopher "Kit" Winter. Kit helps transform Eliza into a stunning
belle, certain to attract a worthy beau. There's just one problem: Eliza
has always been head over heels in love with Kit, the very man who is
trying to find her a husband! But during Eliza's sometimes-comic extreme
makeover, and with a few secret love lessons from Kit on the side,
sparks-and passionate kisses-begin to fly. Kit soon finds himself
completely overcome by an all-consuming desire for Eliza. But if he
fails to realize his true love for her, he may lose this fair lady
forever.
