Lady Aline Marsden and servant John McKenna fall in love when young, but class difference and family pressure force Aline to send him away through a deliberate cruelty. Years later McKenna returns wealthy and determined to confront the woman he believes betrayed him, while both conceal the wounds created by their separation.
The prequel is set in the early Victorian world of landed estates, transatlantic wealth and rigid class hierarchy. McKenna’s transformation from servant to self-made businessman reflects the era’s economic mobility, even as aristocratic status continues to control marriage and reputation.
