To some people Dorabella is a dizzy romantic caught up in her own dreamy world but to her mother, Lady Henrietta De Vomty, she is totally infuriating. Having refused every suitable suitor suggested drastic measures are called for. Banished to stay with her cousin, the spendthrift Lord Adam Beauchamp, not only does Dora's poetic muse desert her but she clashes incessantly with her cousin's new fianc?e, Ruby-Mae Then as the wedding approaches, tensions rise and Adam's gambling increases; but Dora has her own worries, stumbling across the guilty secret of a dubious ancestor from the family's otherwise illustrious past. The deceptions increase, tempers flare and hearts get broken; it seems that no-one can ever be truly happy. After all, can life ever really have a fairy-tale ending?
