When Hugh "Trey" Lumley and Amelia Young first met, she was less than impressed. He has loved her from afar ever since, even after she married another man.
Now widowed, Amelia is told by her father to find a husband‑one wealthy enough to pay for seasons for Amelia's two younger sisters.
It's too late for Trey to be her first love, but he hopes to be her last. His position as a clerk to his barrister uncle means he doesn't stand a chance. He's no longer the meek man willing to stand by and let Amelia fall for someone else. He will find a way to convince Amelia and her father that he's the only man for her.
