even here, amid the clatter of horse-drawn carriages and automobiles, it is impossible to ignore the war raging across Europe.

But in the course of her new career she will encounter one man who compels her to confront the secret she's never revealed, not even to Tom. Only by casting off the façade she has worn for so long can she pursue a path through heartbreak and turmoil toward her own unexpected future
