Lady Beatrice Gregory has beauty, brains--and a wastrel brother. With her family fortune squandered, her only chance of a Season is as a lowly companion. London's glittering balls and parties are bittersweet when Beatrice has no hope of a match. Still, helping Lord Greystone with his charitable work brings her genuine pleasure...perhaps more than she dares to admit. Even when every marriageable miss in London is paraded before him, the only woman to capture Lord Greystone's attention is the one he shouldn't pursue. Attaching himself to a ruined family would jeopardize his ambitions. Yet Lady Beatrice may be the only wife to suit his lord's heart.

This started out as a three-star tale. But somewhere just past the rescue of the chimney sweeps, when the characters suddenly began to realize the effects of their personal prides and selfishnesses, the story picked up big time and became really interesting. I loved the standards of the practical applications of each character's beliefs. And the story arc for the brother was especially engaging.
