Synopsis

Desperately fending off the advances of her late employer's nephew, Miss Emily Pearce fears she may have killed the man and flees into the night.

For despite the unexpected arrival of his former fiancée, Sir Terrence's only desire is to convince Emily she is the true heroine of the greatest love story of all—their own.
