Fate took an unexpected turn when a sympathetic baron, Lord Hawkins, crossed her path. In his care, Alice’s life transformed from despair to a world of luxury and privilege.

Years later, Alice is a young woman of grace and charm, preparing to enter the sophisticated world of society’s elite. Once a street urchin, she now finds herself at the center of high society, pursued by several suitors. However, beneath the glittering façade, shadows from Alice's past threaten to emerge. As she navigates the treacherous waters of love and social ambition, she must confront secrets that could destroy everything.

Overall it was a decent story. Personally Im not a fan of the relationships. Nun of them are good examples of what a healthy romantic relationship should be. I know the age gap was normal at the time but it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. My biggest issue with book is that it’s advertised as “clean” and although there aren’t explicit scenes (there is one that comes pretty close) there is a lot implied and frequent descriptions of female anatomy. So reader beware.
