- Lord Daventry to his physician[/sup][/sup][/right][b][color=6699cc]✄ Premise[/color][/b] 
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
	In a time when marriages can make or break a legacy, what does one do when it all starts to come crashing down? Lady Daventry has been enjoying the lavish life her much older husband has provided for her over the last twenty years. Life at Elmswood is everything she could have hoped for; she has most everything her heart can desire, including a long line of lovers that come when she calls. Perfect... Save for a husband she wishes would hurry up and die, a step son who is a weakling, and a nephew who was exiled to India by his uncle for his scandalous behavior. Yes, everything seems as perfect as she can hope for, that is until her nephew returns home unexpectedly. 

	Lord Daventry sent a letter to India calling back his nephew. The letter itself was cryptic. Speaking of lost time and nights that do not end. Saying he forgives his nephew and he is welcome home to claim his birthright, if he can return in time. To claim his childhood manor Ravenswalk, just a stones throw away from Elmswood, he must marry by his 28th birthday: which is in three weeks. Lady Daventry wants nothing to do with her nephew-in-law, nor wants him in her home, near her husband, or claiming Ravenswalk; even though she has let it fall into disrepair. Can Lord Daventry's nephew wed in time? Even if he does, can he repair Ravenswalk? And what does his uncle mean? How can he find out when he isn't even allowed past the front door?

	Corisande Somerset is nothing but an orphaned and widowed seamstress. No claim to wealth, no claim to title. Simply trying to find respectable work so that she knows where her next meal is coming from. Hired by Lady Daventry to be her personal seamstress she sets out to try to start life a new and forge some sort of future for herself since her past has nothing to offer her anymore. She has been warned to stay away from Lady Daventry's nephew for he will do nothing but shame her and use her but is the woman telling the truth? Should she even risk it? A wrong word could mean the end of her employment and with it her housing, food, and survival. Perhaps it is better to keep her head down and do what she was hired to do, sew. It is hard since each night as she creates by candle light she begins to swear she is not just dozing off but losing time itself.
