Two young women risk it all for adventure and romance. 1886. Charlotte Gleason embarks from England with conflicting emotions.

Charlotte wants a chance at real life, even if it means giving up financial security. It's a risk she's willing to take. But what begins as the whim of a spoiled rich girl becomes a test of survival beyond her blackest nightmare. For the maid, Dora, it's the chance of a lifetime. She is thrust into a fairy tale life amid ball gowns and lavish mansions, yet she is tormented by the possibility of discovery. And what of the man who believes she is his intended?
