Product Overview
On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, a brilliant banker’s daughter presides over a glittering country-house celebration, surrounded by admirers and urged to choose a husband. Her father’s devotion has given her every advantage, but his growing unease casts a shadow over the future he has so carefully planned for her. Among the eligible men who circle her is a formidable aristocrat whose attention seems to offer everything society could prize.
Accustomed to command and fiercely certain of her own judgment, the young heiress has little patience for affection that asks her to change. Yet loyalty, inheritance, and an unsettling encounter with a world beyond her protected circle begin to test the assumptions behind her independence. As old attachments, hidden motives, and a difficult choice gather force, she must discover whether love can survive when rank and security no longer provide the answer.
