Bei einem Tanzfest im Ort verliebt Fronika sich schlagartig in Matthis Weidman, der von der jungen Schönen auch gleich ganz hin und weg ist. Doch Matthis kommt für Fronika nicht nur aus Standesgründen nicht infrage - wie sich herausstellt, ist er auch der neue Förster des Markgrafen, dessen wichtigste Aufgabe es ist, den dreisten Wilderer zu fassen. Fronikas Onkel hat außerdem einen viel besseren Kandidaten für seine Nichte ausgesucht: den Sohn des Bürgermeisters. Während Fronikas und Matthis' Zuneigung weiter wächst, wird die Lage immer komplizierter. Und plötzlich ist Fronikas Leben in Gefahr ... Eine märchenhafte Geschichte voller Glauben und Romantik

Leorah Langdon has no patience for Regency society's shallow hypocrisy and unnecessary rules, especially for women. She's determined to defy convention by marrying for grand passion instead of settling for a loveless union like her parents--or wedding a stuffy, pompous gentleman like Edward, the Viscount Withinghall. But when a chance meeting in the countryside leads to Leorah and Withinghall being discovered in his overturned carriage--alone and after dark--the ensuing gossip may force them together. Withinghall has his reasons for clinging to propriety; his father perished in a duel with his mistress's husband, and Edward must avoid scandal himself if he wants to become prime minister. He certainly has no time for a reckless hoyden like Miss Langdon. But soon the two discover that Withinghall's coach "accident" was no such thing: the vehicle was sabotaged. Can the culprit be brought to justice? Strong-willed Leorah and duty-driven Withinghall will have to work together if they have any hope of saving her reputation, his political career--and his life.
