Miss Catherine Summerfield is a lady with a scandalous past for whom no gentleman will offer. Longing for a chance at love and happiness, she takes a secret peek into the waters of an old wishing well one magical night. Never did she imagine to see the handsome face of Lord Meredith-already engaged to her closest friend-reflected in the waters. However, this was no mere apparition, but the gentleman himself in the flesh. And before she could even protest, she found herself in his arms, responding to his lingering kisses. But Catherine and Lord Meredith both know their union can never be-unless a twist of fate intervenes and makes both of their wishes come true.
