Her future was arranged. Her heart had other plans.
For Evangeline Ashbourne, the season is supposed to end with a suitable husband. Her mother has prepared her for every introduction, every dance and every expectation of society.
Then Thomas Hunter enters her life, and the future chosen for her begins to feel impossible.
As family duty collides with a love she cannot put aside, Thomas is sent away aboard the SS Meridian. But the voyage takes a devastating turn, leaving those on shore waiting for news and Evangeline facing a future no one could have prepared her for.
In a world where reputation decides everything, how much will she risk for the chance to choose her own life?
