Chapter One

Winifred Caldwell is a sensible girl. From being a steadfast friend to one of the most beautiful fellow young ladies of nobility to ensuring the happiness of all those around her, she has no romantical notions or fantasies of true love until she meets the enigmatic and charming Thomas Baxter at her parents' ball.

Suddenly life has never felt more dull and mundane, especially with the looming threat of an already intended fiancé chosen by her parents. When Thomas asks her to run away with him, Winifred decides to defy all the odds and take a chance at life and passion.
