Duchess Edna Rosacea wore the infamy like a silk shroud, until one day she simply shed it. Leaving behind the gilded cage of high society, divorce papers, and her young son, Frederick, to the care of his 'hero' father, Duke Bernard Rosacea, Edna vanished across the ocean.
Years later, the scandal is a fading, bitter memory in the distant courts. Edna is now just Edna, a woman of calloused hands and sun-dusted peace, nurturing a thriving farm business. She has built a quiet sanctuary, certain the suffocating life of the aristocracy could never touch her again.
But sanctuary is a fragile thing. The past, like an old, relentless ghost, finally finds her door. One brisk afternoon, a knock shatters the silence, and standing on her worn porch is the one man who still carries the scent of her former life: Bernard. He has not come for a reconciliation of hearts, but for a desperate appeal that threatens to drag Edna back into the very world she risked everything to escape.
