Cindy lives by her wits until a stolen wallet lands her face-to-face with Professor Henry. What starts as a tense encounter soon changes everything: she is brought to the father she never knew, who names her the only heir of the Perrault family and arranges her engagement to Edward of the Hartmans. To satisfy that old-money family, Henry is put in charge of polishing Cindy into a proper lady, and the lessons quickly blur into sparks between them. But Ana, her adopted sister, refuses to let her rise easily, constantly plotting to trip her up. With Henry’s guidance, Cindy keeps outsmarting each move—while Edward grows more attached, and her own heart starts leaning toward the man teaching her.
