Our world is different then your world, at least it is for us. 

To most of us...the world ended hundreds of years ago, Who knew scientists were right about overpopulation, when the time came we had to make a decision...either reduce population or everyone parishes. 

All those years ago the government split us up into 4 groups..."The Center" where all the wealthy people live at the top of the world, "The Commons" where you live if your working for the wealthy but can barely get by, "The Last" is simply where the poor live and people without hope to live get sent to die, and finally "The Outskirts" No one above The Last know of our existence, excluding the government, We might as well be our own land. 

We live free and listen to no one, we fend for ourselves, and we thrive on our own. That was until a teenage girl thought wasn't careful enough sneaking around and got caught. 

Running into a boy who will soon change the way everyone lives. I'm Rose and this is my story.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
