The past is but memories; the future is ours to make…
Elsie Rothschild
I was brought up to marry; trained from infancy to serve as a wife and mother.
But after being overlooked by the Duke of Kent, I am now facing the prospect of spinsterhood.
It has always been a fear of mine to end up alone, but surprisingly, I am growing used to the idea. A life of quiet study and animal companionship does not sound altogether too bad.
But when a lifelong friend returns home from his travels, a boy who had teased me as a child, strange emotions begin to surface.
Alas, Edmund Barton has always been in love with my sister, so when he looks at me so intensely it takes my breath away, surely, he can only be thinking of her.
Can’t he?
Edmund Barton
After losing Emily Rothschild to the Duke of Kent, I decided to take my leave and travel overseas for a year. Broadening my horizons would finally set me free of my infatuation. Emily was happy and it was time to let her go.
When I finally returned home, an inheritance was waiting for me; a wake-up call to settle down and find a love of my own. A love who would choose me back. I did not dream I would find all that I yearn for in the eldest Rothschild daughter. A girl who has always been there, hiding her true self behind the mask of a ‘perfect’ lady. But now that I have found her, I refuse to let anyone else claim what I so dearly desire.
