An anticipated first meeting. A meddlesome friend. A beauty pageant.

Roy's reply to Aris's numerous letters left her feeling like she was floating in the clouds. He was still unsure about whether or not he deserved her, but his feelings for her were undeniable. Now that he was in her grasp, she wasn't about to let him slip away.

With autumn drawing to a close and the New Year's Ball fast approaching, the two lovers have a chance to meet at last. Roy attends the event, intent on seeing the woman he's grown to adore in person. Meanwhile, Aris is expecting him just as fervently, having done her utmost to look breathtaking for the man who is to be her future husband.

While their connection is instantaneous, their time together is brief. Regardless, they continue to gravitate toward each other even when apart. Will their path to happiness run smoothly? Or will well-meaning yet meddlesome friends ruin it all?

No hurdle is too hard to overcome with a lady's determination-and a few letters.
