Louisa Burg's life has never been easy. Her mother died when she was just a child and left her in the care of a coldhearted father and a stepmother that could not care less. The only light in her life had been her debut. In her mind everything would change when she was introduced to society. She would at last be able to make friends and maybe even find someone who cared for her enough to marry her. Someone kind. Her father broke those dreams the day he told her she was getting married to Nathanial Rosewood, the future Earl of Rosewood. Married to a man she had never heard of and never seen. Will these two strangers be able to make this marriage work? Will Nathaniel be able to find the strong woman that's buried deep within his drab little mouse to wife?
