From ugly duckling to beautiful swan

Eliza Hammond has always been quiet and reserved--hardly the best qualities for finding the man of her dreams and living happily ever after. A new heiress, Eliza is financially secure, courtesy of her aunt's fortune, but even great wealth has its drawbacks now that every greedy, fortune-hunting bachelor suddenly finds Eliza irresistible.

Her best friend, Violet, takes Eliza's romantic dilemma into her own hands, enlisting the social skills of her brother-in-law, Lord Christopher "Kit" Winter. Kit helps transform Eliza into a stunning belle, certain to attract a worthy beau. There's just one problem: Eliza has always been head over heels in love with Kit, the very man who is trying to find her a husband! But during Eliza's sometimes comic extreme makeover, and with a few secret love lessons from Kit on the side, sparks begin to fly. Kit soon finds himself completely overcome by an all-consuming desire for Eliza, but if he fails to realize his true love for her, he may lose this fair lady-forever.
