Loneliness can be unbearable, unless you share it with someone. The Earl of Macklin, Arthur Shelton, has finally returned to London to find the bustling city feels as empty as ever. His sole comfort rests in visiting his protégé in action at the Drury Lane Theatre. That is, until a charming and mysterious backdrop painter captures his interest. Haunted by her thorny past, Teresa Alvarez fled to a quieter, simpler life. She's built a new identity for herself and will stop at nothing to protect it, even if it means denying her rising feelings for the magnetic earl. But as mischief plagues the theater, Teresa and the earl unite to save the place where they once took refuge, and find in each other a lasting gift: true love.
