Delia Langley is a prisoner all her life – a prisoner to high society and its own conventions. A prisoner to her rich father’s overprotective steps. A prisoner to a fiance-to-be within an arrangement made by her dad to truly have a royal heir.

Now nineteen, Delia is preparing to leave another prison, the manmade ‘city in the sky,’ Beau Monde, where she’s been tucked away, high over London all these a long time. Her marriage to Lord Thaddeus Templeton will become announced after her debutante ball, as well as the tires will be set in motion for Delia to take her place as an effective society woman. Except she has other plans.
