Summary

Orphaned at a young age, Rose Hamilton can barely remember a mother's warmth or a father's protection. Instead, she has endured the cold, loveless rule of her embittered Aunt Win, a woman who seems to take pleasure in making Rose's life as difficult as possible. The only comfort Rose has ever known comes from the loyal household staff - Jackson, the butler, Mary, the cook, and Katy, the housemaid - who have become the family she never had. But as her twenty first birthday draws near, Aunt Win is determined to see Rose married off - to any man who will have her. Rose, spirited and independent, refuses to be bartered away like chattel and makes a promise to herself - she will only ever marry for love.
