Excerpt:
Chapter One
Charleston, SC
August, 1861
By midnight at
Hibernian Hall Clara had danced six dances. Joseph Gibbs had tripped on the hem
of her skirt, bless his heart, and ended up on his knees as if seeking divine
intervention for just one night of social grace. Leland Montague had simply
atrocious breath; evidently he had an unseen rotting tooth, making her
continuously look the other way for a breath of fresh air. Walter Wragg didn’t
speak a word during the entire dance, blushing profusely when she so much as
looked him directly in the eye. Albert Tradd held her entirely too close,
causing her father to intervene and have a few choice words with the young
dandy on the balcony. Ashby Calhoun, her last dance partner, had bragged
incessantly of his family’s wealth, his travels abroad, and what a great catch
he would be for any of Charleston’s Southern belles.
Her coming out ball
certainly was not turning out as planned.
Clara shuddered at
the mere thought of being trapped in a loveless marriage with the offerings
thus far. Spinsterhood had never looked more tempting.

BLURB:
Clara was born with a
veil, and the ability to see into the future. This much she knows. What she
doesn’t know is what other gifts will be revealed when she turns eighteen in a
few months. While her grandmother has been diligent in her efforts to prepare
her for the inevitable changes to come, Clara can focus on precious little
besides the devilishly handsome man she met at her coming out ball. Secure in
the knowledge that she has a bright future ahead of her, the future Clara
discovers is one that she could never have conjured in her wildest dreams.
