A Romantic Historical Fiction Short Story by Jasmyne Simone

In a world of glittering gowns, gilded rules, and forbidden love, Lilianna Devaux is expected to follow the path laid out for her—elegance, obedience, and a future forged through status. But her heart has always belonged to someone far from the ballroom floor.

James is a gifted craftsman with strong hands and a stronger soul. Though their worlds couldn't be more different, their childhood bond has only deepened over the years into something unspoken… something undeniable.

When Lilianna is sent away to become a proper lady, society tries to rewrite her story. But fate, family, and a surprise reunion just might give her the courage to follow her heart—no matter what it costs.

Will Lilianna choose the life she was born into or the love she was born for?
