A month after leaving her life as the Ealing's scullery maid, fourteen-year-old Rosie Grey had to go back home without so much as a reference. Her brother helps her start a new life, offering her a job in his tailor shop, away from the comforts and struggles of the Ealing household.

Although a different job from the one she had worked for six months, Rosie flourishes under the instruction of her brother, but she cannot forget the life she has lived. The memories of life in the factory and the struggles she faced under Mrs Ealing's thumb continue to plague her mind. As do her feelings for the Ealing's oldest son, Robert. The only person who was kind to her in the Ealing family, and the reason for her leaving. His soft brown curly locks and smile makes her forget the difficulties she has faced in the past, even if she is sure she will never see him again.

That is until Robert shows up and stirs the scandal up again, forcing her to figure out her true feelings for the Ealing's oldest son and come to terms with who she really is.

"Your hair is full of snow," He chuckled as he looked at her, reaching out to push a strand of hair behind her ear. Some snow successfully fell off her, but he didn't withdraw his hand. He cupped her cheek, wiping away a few snowflakes from it. She was frozen, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights, her heart pounding in her chest. Then, raising his other hand, he cupped her cheeks fully. His eyes began to trace every inch of her face; her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, before his gaze dropped to her lips. Her heart skipped a beat as she tried to keep herself together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seventeen-year-old Valentina Barron doesn't have the most ideal home life.
