Born into the Aristocratic life of London, the 1920s; a world made up of sinister schemes, luxery, blackmail, pretty dresses, murder, brooding seecrets.and love. A place where beauty, breed and money are vital for status and respect. Sophia Manette was never even the shadow of her sister, Georgia's brilliance. She possesses neither her sisters wit nor beauty nor even the adoration she revives Always judged and compared and overlooked at; it's only with Will Codwin, her childhood best friend, does she ever really feel pretty or even a little special. Drawn to him from the start for his kindness and good humour; Sophia knew that he was the one . But on the day she hoped to declare her love it was announced that he had proposed to Georgia...her sister...and she had said yes.
