Since the day her oldest sister entered society, Lady Elizabeth, the Earl of Saunton's sister, imagined the pleasures of her first London Season, during which she expected to meet her future husband. Unfortunately, when she is old enough to make her debut, no member of her immediate family is available to chaperone her in London, so she accepts her Great-Aunt Augusta's offer to bring her out in Cheltenham. Elizabeth looks forward to living at Augusta's grand house near the lively, popular town where people drink mineral water at pump houses and enjoy the social life. Determined to be the perfect debutante, she cannot imagine creating a scandal, so it is fortunate that she cannot foresee the future. Modest, loving and giving Elizabeth is blessed with beauty and a fortune, which attracts suitors. It would not be surprising if her 'head is turned' by admirers but she is not a flirt. From the moment she sees Mr Yates she sets her heart on him. At the same time, she is not attracted to her brother's friend with an exotic background, and amber eyes like a tiger's which unnerve her. Both gentlemen made their fortunes when they served in the East India Company, but will they lead her into trouble, be right for Elizabeth and will one of them be the perfect match for her?
