Description
A historical and romantic story of a rough American seeking business upon his return to London at the beginning of the 19th century, but finding distraction, romance, and a chance for lifelong love. Miss Cleopatra Lewis is preparing to enter society accompanied by her aristocratic grandfather. Since she has no intention of marrying, she visits a salon that makes theatrical costumes and orders a dress designed to deter all prospective suitors. The powerful and charismatic Jacob Astor Addison arrives from America to London to expand his theatrical empire and also to buy an opal for a young lady in Boston. A twist of fate leads him and Cleopatra to make a bet in which they will design a wardrobe for each other. During the task, the rough American becomes her closest friend. Only when Cleo becomes the darling of society does Jake realize that she has stolen his carefully guarded heart. But unlike the nobles who lay at her feet, he does not belong to her noble world. He would give up everything to be with the woman he loves – if she wants him.
