The Mystery

Ten years after their first meeting, Gabriel and Adeline are brought together for one purpose: marriage. However, time truly proved itself a terrible friend.
Gabriel Goddard, newly graduated from his family alma mater, and attached to his dearest friend, Madeline Roberts, comes home for the first time in two years. His mother, prepared to celebrate her son's return and upcoming nuptials, is surprised by her son's attachment.
Lady Adeline Roberts, daughter of the Earl of Huntingdon, awaits the reunion of her betrothed skeptically. Although raised with all the expectations of a lady, she leads a more rebellious life, to her mother's chagrin. Only known to herself and her parents, she hides her past and birth from the world. When Gabriel arrives at Avesbury, along with his beloved, Adeline is soon thrown into an unprecedented predicament. She is forced to chose between her family's path and her own happiness.
