Now, just shy of nineteen, she has promised to play the part of propriety for her mother's sake, but Ivy is an outlandish force to be reckoned with, and her true nature knows no shame--especially when it comes to an answerless beauty like Sicili Windihill. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSicili Windihill is answerless, and never more than in the presence of \u003ci\u003eGrace\u003c\/i\u003e, the defiant half-naked painting that haunted her childhood. Now, having returned to the gossiping county of Wiltshire after six years of living in London, she is once again at the mercy of her father's scheming ways. No sooner is she reunited with \u003ci\u003eGrace\u003c\/i\u003e and the tumultuous feelings it brings up then she discovers her father is harboring a grand, obnoxious plan--one that involves a devastating ultimatum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey meet at a ball. A tantalizing tryst of wit, courage, fear, and unspoken admiration are quick to follow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFans of Sarah Waters (\u003ci\u003eTipping the Velvet\u003c\/i\u003e), Jane Austen, and Julia Quinn (\u003ci\u003eThe Bridgerton Series\u003c\/i\u003e) will feast on this lesbian perspective of the ton, the societal expectations of Victorian England, and the deep, obligatory roots of family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel C.
