The year is 1899 and Cordelia Bellrose lives a pristine life in the upper class. Though she has never felt at home with the life she lives, she remains unaware of what truly goes on around her. That is until Killian Claybrooke enters her life.
Despite feeling detached from the life she has been given, she must now come to terms with the fact that she is willing to fight for a life she did not know she wanted. Everything Cordelia knew about romance and life is coming to a stop and everything around her shifts, all while a new life appears in the distance that she can either refuse or enter willingly- at least that is what she believes.
