Violet Ridley longs to make friends in this new corner of the country, but her family’s fortune was made through investments rather than inheritance, and Society can be fickle. It all seems exhausting-until an unexpected addition to the party catches his eye: his new neighbor, the lovely Violet. But when his tight-knit group of friends, the Gents, descends on Livingsley Hall for their annual gathering, he stoically joins in their activities.

In particular, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kester. So when tragedy forces her family to shelter at neighboring Livingsley Hall, Violet is delighted to receive a warm welcome from the Gents. It all seems exhausting - until an unexpected addition to the party catches his eye: his new neighbor, the lovely Violet.
