Loneliness is a tragic and essential part of life that everyone on Earth has experienced at least at one point in their lives. Whether they want to admit to it or show it, they have. Harmony Hampton has never really talked about it to anyone. Not even to her best friend, Simon. She's had to keep it in for quite a while. Luckily, she's almost done with all that alarmingly petty high-school drama. Heading off to the uni, with Simon, she hopes to turn her back to all that nonsense. In the summer of her graduation, she lands herself in the spotlight British paps... Not that she necessarily enjoys it. Her lonely past gets shoved behind her, as a result, or so she hopes. That's one of the very few pros to the very many cons there is to being harassed by the merciless English press and paparazzi. The frankly rude and infamous British paps care more about who Harmony is with 24/7 than her own wants. Harmony's privacy is selfishly snatched away from her and she won't put up with it at all. Her crippling past shapes her present and future, because she found her voice in it. Her past will, however, come back again and again. It's just as stubborn as Harmony is. Harmony is almost as typical as teenager gets, with raging obsessions over hugely popular boy-bands such as One Direction and her own dance career. She also has her not-so-typical side, her passion for super-geeky shows like Doctor Who and Merlin. Never mind her appearance. Her profile oozes normality, yet a special someone senses more to her...

In a city divided by class, love is dangerous - and wanting more is an act of rebellion. A slow-burn, forbidden Victorian romance.
