Hoping to book passage on a ship to America so that she might escape a dangerous arranged marriage forced on her by her uncle, Elizabeth Ainsworth flees her home on a desperate journey northward that nearly results in her death. Weakened and feverish, she is rescued by chance passerby Dante Moberly moments before she would die from exposure to the bitterly cold night.
| The meeting changes both their paths and throws emotional twists into two already complicated lives. Dante is as reserved as Elizabeth is intelligent, but despite their differences they are strongly drawn to one another and find their futures intertwined as they try to save Elizabeth's life. | ||
