Introduction

Ever since she was injured in a terrible accident, Cordelia Williams has felt adrift. The accident claimed more than her limb; it ruined her reputation and destroyed her dream of becoming a famous painter.

Worried that her disability makes her a disgrace to her prominent Regency family, Cordelia tries to find other ways to contribute to her family's legacy. But Cordelia's mother is determined to keep her hidden at their country estate--especially after a wealthy gentleman begins courting her beautiful sister.

When Cordelia's father arranges her exit from high society, Cordelia is faced with a difficult decision: accept the quiet life her family planned for her... or overcome her fear of being seen.
