Lady Felicity Melville has her head in the stars as an amateur astronomer. In a moment of desperation, she wishes on one of her stars for a husband who will bring her a lifetime of adventure. The star must be plenty powerful because within minutes Mr. Neville Cavendish drops into Felicity’s garden right below her balcony. Felicity can tell that this gorgeous rake is just what she wanted and sets out to convince him he wants her too. In the meantime, Neville’s father has determined to hand over the reins of the family business within six weeks. Neville is beginning to feel like he has no control over his life and its direction. The stars conspire to deliver Neville into Felicity’s hands and now she must wait to see if he comes to love her as much as she loves him.

It is a romance told with a deft hand and a light touch.
