The third day of November in the year of our lord, 1865, shortly before sunrise.

Lady Grace Willow is the daughter of the Duchess of Cambridge. She can have any man she wants. Any man that is rich, we should say. And that is just the problem. Lady Grace Willow doesn't want Samuel, the Duke of Oxford's son or any other first class gentleman. She wants Jack Tanner, a third class apprentice to a butcher. Seems impossible? Nothing's impossible.
