Chapter One

Orphelia Knight is tired of the grey city of London. Her family is pushing her to marry the most eligible of London's bachelors: Lord Ezra Burton, a man who wears his ego as a suit. Orphelia, feeling pressured and lonely, persuades her parents to let her stay at the family's country estate for a while to gather her feelings and be alone with her troubling thoughts. Along the way, her carriage crashes and she is left wet and alone in an empty field which is overlooked by Winterlove Castle, a castle inhabited by a weeping prince and rumored to be haunted by a vengeful ghost.
