Harriet Smith rejects Robert Martin's proposal because her grand friend, Emma Woodhouse, convinces her that a mere humble farmer is not good enough for her. Disappointed and mortified, Robert resolves to forget about Harriet forever. Little does he know that destiny will soon bring them together again. With thieves, smugglers, and clandestine gambling sending ripples across the smooth surface of English country life, there is never a dull day in Highbury. Secret, illicit family connections complete the picture of an outwardly respectable existence where nothing is as it seems. In this sweet Regency romance, set in the world of Jane Austen's Emma, the stage belongs to the unsung heroes of the beloved classic novel.
