Pretty good for a Signet Regency Romance. Charming romantic couple overcoming obstacles in their path and achieving true love. Alright, that describes almost any romance.

Female romantic lead: Charlotte Deems, widowed, running out of money, might have to marry to secure a future for her son Oscar

Problems: Sebastian has undertaken a commission to do a little smuggling, to make a stake for himself.

Quirkiness: Sebastian and Charlotte are fascinated by the sport of cricket.
