Her world is anchored by a her parents and a trio of friendships that balance her life: the fiery, reckless, and vulgar Lady Melissa, and the poised, honorable Lady Angela.

Between the high-stakes ledgers of her office and the scandalous whispers of the ballroom, Eunice must navigate a dangerous game of power and passion.
