When things go wrong, and Sophy and her family are forced to leave Pendleton, Harry believes she has betrayed him. Determined to move on, he chooses a new wife. He tells himself that Lady Evelyn Rowe is perfect in every way, and they announce their engagement at a grand ball in Mayfair. But on that very night, Sophy returns. Sophy has been in love with Harry all her life. She knows they are going to marry and live happily ever after, because Harry tells her so.
