Set in the American South in 1899, this story follows two women who meet in a world that was never meant to make room for people like them.
When the calm and quite doctor Lalisa Manoban arrives at the Braithwaite Manor alongside her father to treat the powerful family patriarch, Lee Byung Kim, she expects nothing more than work, distance, and strict professionalism.
Instead, she meets Jennie Kim.
The daughter of one of the most influential families in Lemoyne, Jennie appears to have everything wealth can offer. But beneath her elegant smile lies a loneliness Lisa recognizes all too well.
What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore. In stolen glances, midnight conversations, hidden touches, and mornings spent side by side, they find a kind of safety they have never known before.
It is a connection that becomes more terrifying the more real it feels, because a bond like theirs should not exist in their time.
But Braithwaite Manor hides more than forbidden feelings. Buried beneath its walls are family secrets, old lies, and the mysterious disappearance of Jennie's older sister Jisoo an truths that were never meant to be uncovered.
In a world where women are not allowed to choose their own fate, Lisa and Jennie must decide how far they are willing to go. Do they play by the cruel rules of society to stay safe? Or do they fight for the connection they found, risking everything they have to lose?
A slow-burn historical romance filled with forbidden love, family secrets, mystery, and the hope of finding freedom in a world determined to take it away.
