"It's not right that we should have to fight for something so obviously right and just as having the vote but we must. Someone must!"
Lady Anastasia Banks has lived her entire life thus far in a world where she may do as she likes, be it running around the countryside with her cousins or sitting quietly in a secluded corner, immersed in a book about the flora and fauna of her home county of Kent.
But with her 'coming out' only a year away, Anastasia gradually realises her future will be quite different. And she's not sure if she'll like it.
Thrust into the world of Edwardian high society and faced with an impossible choice, Anastasia comes to see that perhaps life isn't so simple and fair as she once thought. In her frustration, she comes across a group of ladies who promise to help her... to help all women.

It won't have to be given up until her reputation has changed, but Lauren isn't sure she can live with the consequences of making a deal with the devil.

When Eilean's fathers and brothers are called off to war, the burden of running Stormway Castle and the surrounding estates falls into Eilean's unprepared hands.
