A legacy of lies a promise of love... 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. As Rose fights to take control of her own future she stumbles upon a long-buried secret - a revelation so shocking it threatens to unravel everything she has ever believed about her past her family and even herself. And when a connection sparks with a man her aunt vehemently opposes another promise takes root within Rose - to wait no matter the cost for the hand her heart truly desires. Can Rose uncover the truth before it’s too late? Or will her aunt’s scheming change the course of her life forever?
