A tale of romance and rivalries in early twentieth-century England . . .
It’s 1905, and eighteen-year old-Kate Barrington is getting ready for a ball. She has fallen deeply in love with Jonathan Wentworth, heir to his uncle’s estate. But when she arrives, Jon’s attention is captivated by her frail, orphaned cousin, Cassandra.
Consumed by jealousy, Kate tries to leave, but is stopped by Rick Ferris, a charming and handsome business tycoon. Kate knows she cannot love Rick like she loves Jon—but when Rick proposes, she agrees.
What Kate does not know is that the marriage between her true love and her cousin is woefully troubled. And soon, the secrets and lies may all be revealed . . .
