But her whole life changed when her mother died, leaving her to be the Lady of Wheiler House.

When a handsome young man notices her at one of her father's parties, it seems that her hopes may finally be coming true.

But as she gains strength, and a powerful new name, she carries a dark need to wreak vengeance on the man she trusted most.
