Until one day, out of bolue, Michael offers her a trip to London, all expenses paid, and Claire's fortunes take an extraordinary about-turn. Crossing the Atlantic, a whole new world opens up for Claire. Finally, she can go to the ball - or, rather, revel in all the delights London has to offer a girl with a fresh spring in her step.

But happy-ever-after isnt easy, even in fairytales and Claire must reckon without the obstructive efforts of a very strait-laced Englishman if she is going to have the happy ending she's after.
