​
The task of investigating the matter falls to Kitty, Lydia’s sister, and Mr. Andrew Selkirk, a neighbor who is recuperating from an injury sustained while working as a member of the Bow Street Horse Patrol.

It is with a heavy heart that Jasper bids adieu to the stage and begins his life anew as Mr. Charles Bingley’s valet.
When Caroline and Jasper bump into each other, she is dazzled by his smile and charms, but quickly realizes he is a penny stinkard and worth no more of her time. But when he turns up at Harker House, the Bingley family’s London residence, she finds herself drawn in by his playful impishness.
Will Caroline allow her sense of propriety to falter so that she might learn to love and appreciate Jasper? And will he see through her air of disdain so he might be granted the privilege of getting to know the real Miss Caroline Bingley?
