A knight in distress.
 And a dark night in London.Maryann Hayes has set her sights on marrying Lord Hefferton, a kind, respectable gentleman, who promises to be the solution to her family’s financial problems.

Now, as a grown woman, Maryann is determined to face facts: love is nothing but a fairy-tale, and she better ought to forget those girlish dreams.
