    In an attempt to please her mother, Lady Gabrielle Hainsley has just begun the debutante Season at Feugholt castle. The competition is stiff, but perhaps she can find a few friends in the frenzy of debutantes and noblemen. That is, if she can live long enough. Meanwhile, a mysterious vigilante has taken the city by storm. Is she a threat, or the most valuable asset Captain Gillan Roberts could have hoped for? And what is her connection to the debutantes that grace the castle's halls? *** Inspired by MissKatey's Season series (read the first one, immediately wrote the first five chapters of this). My oc has always been a redhead as well, but feel free to point out if I got too close to her ideas! I've done my own research to help with the setting. This story is to be all my own, but I thank her for the inspiration! Written with the help of Lmalcolm3 and thesaurus.com :) Cover credit goes to me, any other drawn images are done by me (I'm trying to get better at drawing, so there'll be quite a few of many different styles. If a template for the pose was used it'll be noted). I'm improving this story every day, so there may be updates in the chapters sometimes! I try to perfect each before publishing, but you never know when a clever new idea might strike that needs a bit of past-chapter tweaking! Thanks for the understanding o3o ANY COMMENTS WELCOME! Seriously! Anything. I may not update regularly, but I can promise I am always working on this story, whether on the chapter I'm supposed to be writing or one four chapters ahead. Thanks for your patience!
