About the book
Patience Ballard has fond memories of her most cherished childhood friends—fun-loving Pip and dear, dependable Richard. Now that she is ready to marry, it is Pip she wants—and she's come to London to find him.... Crushed when she learns Pip is already engaged, not even Richard's sweet support can soothe her wounded heart. But Pip's much vaunted love affair is decidedly odd. He does not seem the least bit interested in his intended. Puzzled, but hopeful, Patience uncovers the truth of her dear friends' adult personalities....and begins to wonder if she has misjudged all the players in the game of love, as well as the identity of the young man patiently waiting, with the key to her heart
