Description: 400 pages ; 24 cm.
"For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they�ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. To high-born Adelaide, whose wealthy family is forcing her into a loveless marriage, the Glittering Court represents something else: the chance to chart her own destiny, and adventure in an unspoiled, prosperous new land across the sea. After a chance meeting with the dazzling Cedric Thorn, Adelaide poses as a servant to join the crop of impoverished girls he promises to transform into proper ladies. But her familiarity with upper class life comes with a price: she must hide her identity from her new friends, mysterious refugee Mira and fiery former laundress Tamsin, and most importantly, from Cedric himself�even though she�s falling in love with him. Everything begins to crumble when Cedric discovers Adelaide�s ruse, and she catches the eye of a powerful young governor, who wants her for a wife. She didn�t leave the gilded cage of her old life behind just to become someone else's property. But nothing is as daunting�or as wonderful�as the potent, forbidden attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. One that, if acted on, would make them both outcasts in a wild, dangerous, uncharted world, and possibly lead them to their deaths"-- Publisher.
