PLOT: The book is set mainly in Southwest England, in a quaint English cottage. The main characters are Hope, late 20s (think Anne Hathaway type), an editor who goes to England in search of Gemma Lovegood, a bestselling author of Victorian romances, who no one has never met or seen, who has gone AWOL along with her overdue manuscript; Oscar (32, darkly handsome), her grouchy agent/protector who butts heads with Hope; and the mysterious Gemma Lovegood. A horse farm and a costume ball also figure in the story.
