The first duty of a lady was to learn how to obey. Cecilia Faye Lansbury knew this. She knew that her place in the world was to smile, learn how to be a housewife and to marry the man that her mother approves of. Not what she approved of. When she gets to know Theodore Walter Reeves, he sparks her heart with the desire for freedom. But he was a groom that worked in her family's estate and she was an English woman of the upper-class in the late 18th century. Her obedience starts to falter. When her mother suddenly arranges her to a suitor, she is caught between the crossfire of her duties and desire in a world dominated by class, duties and wealth. Cecilia must make a decision that would truly influence what her future will look like. And whether if her heart will be obedient or break free. Copyright © 2026 Loraine Elle Destry.
