Ljubav poslijepodne

Beatrix Hathaway always felt more comfortable in nature and with animals than in a ballroom. Although she has gone to London balls in the past, the classic beauty Beatrix has never been knocked off her feet, nor has anyone seriously courted her. She has come to terms with the fact that she will never find love. Is it time for the most free-spirited of the Hathaway sisters to settle down with a common man just to avoid spinsterhood?

Captain Christopher Phelan is a handsome and brave soldier, who after returning from the battlefield intends to marry Beatrix's friend, the lively coquette Prudence Mercer. But as he explains in his letters to Prue, life on the battlefield has blackened his soul. It becomes clear that Christopher will not return as he left. When Beatrix learns of Prue's disappointment, she decides to help her friend by writing letters to Christopher on her behalf. Soon her correspondence with Christopher turns into something deep and fulfilling. When Christopher returns home, he is determined to be with the woman he fell in love with in the letters. But what began as an innocent ruse ended in the agony of unrequited love and a passion that could not be denied.
