As fate would have it, her dashing new neighbor, George Hazelton, is one of only two other people aware of the full story. Frances assures Inspector Delaney of her innocence, but she's also keen to keep him from learning the scandalous circumstances of Reggie's demise. The Metropolitan police receive an anonymous letter implicating Frances in her husband's death. No sooner has Frances begun her new life than the ghosts of her old one make an unwelcome appearance. With her young daughter in tow, Frances rents a home in Belgravia and prepares to welcome her sister, Lily, arriving from New York - for her first London season. After an obligatory year spent mourning her philandering husband, Reggie, she puts aside her drab black gowns, leaving the countryside and her money-grubbing in-laws behind. Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, enjoys more freedom as a widow than she did as a wife.
