Chapter One
Southern Derbyshire, England
Christmas Eve, 1834
“My wedding is ruined.” Susanna Lorican swallowed the lump rising in her throat. The wind buffeting her father’s manor drove the snow in furious flurries against her bedchamber window in wicked defiance of her hopes and dreams. Her knees weakened, and she clutched the sill to keep upright. Why now? What did she do to deserve this? She rested her forehead on the cool glass windowpane and inhaled a deep breath.
“Do be calm. Fretting over things you cannot change is useless,” Lady Marie Lorican chided from somewhere behind her. “The road is still travelable, so hope is not lost.”
She leaned back and peered through the glass to spot the long, winding dirt road cutting through acres of white, rolling pastures and snow-laden trees. The clouds shielding the early morning sun cast a gray, depressing pall over her father’s estate and billowed darker in the distance. A shiver snaked down her spine.
“Come. You must finish dressing.” She wrapped her arm around Susanna and pulled her to the white-wood vanity.
The same old floral wallpaper, ivory furnishings, and thin rugs in her room mocked her. Would she ever become the mistress of her own home?
After Susanna sank into the cushioned chair, her mother divided her thick, dark hair into two equal parts. “Do not let ill-timed weather crush your spirit.”
