One noble family. Five eager daughters. An upcoming ball.

Meanwhile, Edwin’s exuberant younger daughter Beatrice embarks on a very unexpected path – becoming a nurse to wounded soldiers in London under the keen eye of Florence Nightingale.
And with the girls’ stepmother Lady Charlotte spending Edwin’s money while keeping a secret of her own, it’s going to be quite a Season . . .
