: They should have noticed her red hair .... How can an independent young lady, who is accustomed to the freedom of the middle class, bend to the will of 1812 Society? After growing up in an orphanage as Louise Tracy, Louise resides in London with her best friend, Rebecca Black, and their companion, Mrs. Amelia Peters. An accomplished pianist, Louise earns money teaching piano to merchants' daughters and enjoys life within the middle class, with no concern for the upper-class restrictions. Then, much to her dismay, she learns she is a member of the upper class: Louise Mansfield, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Granville who proudly states his ancestors welcomed William of Normandy to England in 1066. What happens when an independent young lady falls in love with a man who does not meet the approval of her grandparents? Major George Stafford is eligible in the eyes of everyone except the family-proud Granvilles. Louise knows he is the man for her. He is handsome, manly, a war hero, and possessor of a reasonable fortune. More importantly, they laugh at the same things. Music has always been a large part of Louise's life. She views her life as either in major key-the good times or in minor key-the not-so-good times. Whether in the confines of Mansfield Park in Somerset or learning Society's rules in London, Louise lives her life on her own terms.

The sprite wants the spy. Will she get him? Marie Louise Rebecca Haverford is the pampered only child of Sir Julian and Lady Becca, with whom she has a loving, fun-filled relationship. Although she presents the expected frivolous demeanor to society, she is, in fact, quite intelligent as her father learns when she interferes with his work at Whitehall. Soon after their arrival in London for her second Season, Marie meets John, Viscount Beaufort, a Whitehall associate of Sir Julian. Lady Becca warns her that Beaufort is immune to young misses, but Marie vows to change all that. Marie's shifts between maturity and immaturity confuse Beaufort, yet he admires her grasp on life. He resists Marie's blandishments, partially because he distrusts frivolous females, but also because theft of funds meant for the military in Spain occupies his attention.Marie is accustomed to getting what she wants, so why does Beaufort not succumb to her blandishments? After all, she is beautiful and wealthy. She never offends by exhibiting any intelligence. As expected by society, she flirts deliciously, pouts adorably, and dazzles every male within view. Every male, that is, except the one she desires. Must she place her life in danger to win Beaufort's attention? She will do even that to win her heart's desire.
