As Caroline finds herself drawn to the good Marquis of Villemer, a man of noble birth and undeniable charm, she must confront the chasm that separates their social classes and the prejudice that threatens their budding connection. Will her intelligence and strength of character ultimately conquer the societal constraints that stand between them?
