The tall, flaxen-haired lord brought colour to Victoria's cheeks - not to mention a flutter to her pulse. He was so handsome. What girl would not blush? And he was flirting with her!

But then a dashing young sea captain starts spreading stories about her man. Could it be that Vicky's happy-ever-after with Lord M. might not be so happy after all?
