Sometimes fairy tales can come true even for plain, shy spinsters like Missy Wright. Neither as pretty as cousin Alicia nor as domineering as mother Drusilla, she seems doomed to a quiet life of near poverty at Missalonghi, her family's pitifully small homestead in Australia's Blue Mountains. But it's a brand new century a time for new thoughts and bold new actions. And Missy Wright is about to set every self-righteous tongue in the town wagging. Because she has just set her sights on a mysterious, mistrusted, and unsuspecting stranger who just might be Prince Charming in disguise. Set in the Blue Mountains.
