She had decided she would only marry a man who can buy her the dress she saw in a shop on the Champs Élysée...Then to Italy where she would experience great art and, possibly, true love. Nobody had counted on Emma's perseverance, strength of character, and ability to love. In the dazzling season in Regency England, Emma is one young lady you will never forget!
