Elizabeth Stone was once a free-spirited, optimistic girl, until an explosion stole her parents and her twin sister in one night. Raised by her aunt and supported by her best friend’s wealthy family, she thought she had finally found her footing.

Until the day she walked into her boyfriend’s apartment, ready to celebrate his birthday, and found him in bed with her best friend, Penelope Garcia.

Betrayal cut deep, shattering years of love and friendship in a single heartbeat. That night, Elizabeth swore she would never be that vulnerable again.

But a single reckless choice, one night of escape—threw her into the arms of Kaius Blackwood, Snow City’s most powerful and dangerously captivating CEO.

Then a hit-and-run leaves Elizabeth with retrograde amnesia… and nothing is as it seems. Because the more she remembers, the more she realizes—

Almost everything she’s ever known… was a lie.

In the spirit of Lady Whistledown herself, I feel it only proper to offer you a most sincere apology for my recent silence. It is not a lack of affection for this story—nor for you, my ever-loyal readers—but rather the unavoidable call of reality.


As exams draw near and my schedule thickens like proper English fog, I fear my updates may become as rare as a scandal-free Featherington. I shall, however, strive to post at least one chapter in the coming weeks, even if the muses and textbooks must war for my attention.


Do pardon my tardiness. This author assures you that stories still brew, scenes still dance behind my eyes, and our beloved characters are merely waiting in the wings.


With all the grace of a duchess and the chaos of a writer during finals,


Chapter 32 - Author's Note.
