New York, 1882. Amy Eaton is a bestselling authoress, much to the embarrassment of her family. Proudly 'old money', they see her professionalism as an impropriety. Despite their undisguised disdain for her, Amy is bound by a promise she made to her dying mother to look after her two sisters and father. Eight years have passed since Amy gave up the love of her life, after her mother's best friend persuaded her not to marry him. But now Wareham is back: a rich, self-made man in search of a wife. Doing her best to forget the life she might have had with Wareham, Amy must learn how to navigate her small social circle without letting her true feelings show. As new and unexpected situations arise, will Amy defy expectations and choose her own path?
