Genre: Historical Romance
Book Description:
Clara was born with a veil, and the ability to see into the
future. This much she knows. What she doesn’t know is what other gifts will be
revealed when she turns eighteen in a few months. While her grandmother has
been diligent in her efforts to prepare her for the inevitable changes to come,
Clara can focus on precious little besides the devilishly handsome man she met
at her coming out ball. Secure in the knowledge that she has a bright future
ahead of her, the future Clara discovers is one that she could never have
conjured in her wildest dreams.
Excerpt
Chapter One
Charleston, SC
August, 1861
By midnight at Hibernian Hall Clara had danced six dances. Joseph Gibbs had tripped on the hem of her skirt, bless his heart, and ended up on his knees as if seeking divine intervention for just one night of social grace. Leland Montague had simply atrocious breath; evidently he had an unseen rotting tooth, making her continuously look the other way for a breath of fresh air. Walter Wragg didn’t speak a word during the entire dance, blushing profusely when she so much as looked him directly in the eye. Albert Tradd held her entirely too close, causing her father to intervene and have a few choice words with the young dandy on the balcony. Ashby Calhoun, her last dance partner, had bragged incessantly of his family’s wealth, his travels abroad, and what a great catch he would be for any of Charleston’s Southern belles.
Her coming out ball certainly was not turning out as planned.
Clara shuddered at the mere thought of being trapped in a loveless marriage with the offerings thus far. Spinsterhood had never looked more tempting.
