It’s good to be born smart and beautiful, to inherit pride and an independent, freedom-loving character, and to marry the heir of a rich estate…
And it’s bad, afterward, to lose father, husband, and the family fortune. To end up on the brink of ruin and—like a bone in the throat—for a meddling aunt-guardian. And even worse: your only way out is a marriage to a man who is deeply disgusting to you.
All that’s left is to hope for a miracle: make a wish, write it on a piece of paper, burn it, and entrust it to the wind…
And… not to believe that the wind will hear you.
But one day, on your doorstep, the head of one of the most influential houses on the Coast appears and asks for your hand for his son. And the son is handsome, gallant, and smart… And you so want to believe that he’s captivated by your beauty, your mind, and your free spirit—that this isn’t a story about a mousetrap and cheese…
But it is… that very story.
