Now, as a grown woman, Maryann is determined to face facts: love is nothing but a fairy-tale and she better ought to forget those girlish dreams.

He can barely see straight, let alone remember where he lives when he stumbles upon an angel in disguise.

Rather heroically, the young lady comes to his rescue and Leopold is surprised to find a kindred spirit as those bright blue eyes look into his. When they finally part ways, he is determined to seek her out, knowing he has to see her again.

Unfortunately, when he does, Leopold is forced to realize that the lady is already promised to wed another.
