Cressie may be the daughter of a count, but society regards her as plain and strange. Still, she's highly intelligent, sneaking into scientific society disguised as a man. Now, years after her debut in London society, she is yet unwed. Cressie then encounters Giovanni di Matteo, a world-famous artist hired for a portrait of her stepbrothers. Cressie and the comely Signor di Matteo discuss seriously art versus maths, and a connection grows. Can he see beyond her exterior... to the beauty within?
