Note: This book is the second in the Acklam Series. The story is a completed novel, translated chapter by chapter weekly. Faith Acklam harbored a deep disdain for the aristocracy. However, lately she had discovered another thing she loathed even more: Noah Binham's views on marriage. The young man was impossible to silence when it came to his ramblings about true love and the "right person"! Yet, Faith had a plan. In this way, she could free all of society from Noah's speeches and help him find his "right person." Noah Binham had quietly lost faith in the possibility of finding true love. From the outside, everyone believed he was merely waiting for the right person. Yet, he felt too desperate to truly grasp that notion. So desperate, in fact, that his closest friend, Henry, had started suggesting that people marry him! But Henry was not the only one who noticed his desperation and wished to help; his sister Faith was now involved as well.
