Lady Eleanore Wingate has survived three fruitless Seasons and more awkward waltzes than any lady deserves. When her mother insists she must secure a husband, Eleanore turns to her oldest friend, Thomas Thornton, Viscount Trumbley, for help.

Thomas has always been her protector and confidant. Teaching her how to attract a suitor seems harmless at first, yet every lesson stirs feelings he thought long buried. As Eleanore blossoms under his guidance, Thomas begins to realize that no other man will ever deserve her.

Their friendship turns into something neither expected, and one misstep at a summer ball could expose more than a lesson in charm. To claim their chance at love, they must risk the rules of propriety and follow their hearts to the final waltz.
