Time is running out. Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find the perfect woman. He knows he can't be demanding and selective, but every time he sees Iris Smyth-Smyth hiding behind her cello, his heart skips a beat.

Iris. The girl you wouldn't notice at first - or second - glance. But something simmers beneath the surface, and the effect she has on him is unique.

Iris Smyth-Smyth is used to being underestimated. With her light-colored hair and her subtle and sly sense of humor, she tends to fade into the background, and he prefers her that way.
But when Richard Kenworthy shows interest in her, she becomes suspicious. She flirts, giving the impression of a smitten man, but Iris keeps her defenses up.

When a marriage proposal turns into a compromise, doubts and questions arise. And while her heart is ready to surrender, she is now certain that a big secret is being kept.
And if it's revealed? Will their love be strong enough to forgive everything?
