England, 1830s. Y/N is the daughter of one of the country’s wealthiest landowners, raised in a world of luxury, expectations, and privilege. But behind her father’s estate walls, she secretly breaks every rule she was taught to follow. She steals food from the manor’s kitchens and gives it to the enslaved workers. She protects them from her father’s temper. She remembers their names. And despite knowing the consequences, she repeatedly risks her own comfort to make their lives a little less cruel. Then Percy Clark Walter arrives at the estate. Recently transferred to Y/N’s father’s property, Percy is warned about her almost immediately. “She’ll feed you when nobody’s looking.” “She’ll distract her father when he’s angry.” “Everyone here loves her.” Percy doesn’t believe them. Why would he trust the daughter of the man who owns him? But the longer he watches Y/N, the harder it becomes to believe that her kindness is an act. She’s the one person in the manor who sees him as a human being. And she’s the one person he knows he can never have. Their growing feelings become a dangerous secret—one that could cost Y/N her family, her inheritance, and her safety, while Percy faces consequences far more severe. She was born into privilege. He was denied freedom. And falling in love cannot erase the injustice separating them. But perhaps it can give them both a reason to fight for something neither of them has ever been allowed to have: freedom.
