To convince Sir Egon that his charm left her unmoved was even harder. show more Forced to feign love in public and indifference in private, Claire strained to listen to the prompting of prudence and ignore the urgings of her heart... show lessTags

Good read, really liked Clair and how she handled herself and what life dealt her. Since this is a romance my gripe is I didn't believe in the love between herself and Egon, just couldn't see why she fell in love with him, found him to be petty and disagreeable.
