Ah! Quem me dera
ter ainda meus vinte e poucos anos.

Ter de novo a minha
velha mania de pensar que seria eterno.

Ah! Que saudade das
folhas úmidas de orvalho que me escorria pelas pernas

Quando, ainda cedo,
saía a tirar a erva daninha da plantação.

Fosse para sempre
aquela época, pouco tempo seria para ser o que queria.

Pensei que que a
idade tardaria a chegar, e os anos não me alcançariam.

Pobre jovem que,
erroneamente, espera ter as mesmas forças da juventude 

Na velhice.

Os anos me chegaram
e pesaram sobre mim. Curvei.

Nem ao orvalho,
pela manhã, posso sair

E da varanda vejo a
terra que tanto cultivei, noutros
tempos,

Ser manejada por
máquinas.

Pobre de mim que já
me vou e nada fiz, por pensar que era cedo para começar.

Henley agrees to pretend to date millionaire Bennett Calloway for a fee, falling in love as she wonders - how is he involved in her brother's false conviction? ****** Henley Linden's brother is in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and she'll take any job to raise the money needed to free him. Soon, she's agreed to pretend to date millionaire Bennett Calloway for ten thousand dollars, so his mother will ease up the pressure on him to find a wife. But once Henley is enmeshed in Bennett's world, he falls for her, and she starts to have feelings for him as well. Despite her romance with Bennett, as she grows closer to the Calloways, Henley realizes they are somehow involved in her brother's conviction. Journeying deeper into a world of wealth and conspiracies, Henley is forced to rely on Bennett, though doing so could cost her everything. [[word count: 200,000-250,000 words]]
