In 1848, Nadia Anassi inherits a Hungarian estate only to face ruin when her manager flees with the tax money. When Colonel Sturming offers to cancel her debt in exchange for her compliance, she refuses—only to be captured and forced into a caravan of gypsy prisoners. Escaping during an ambush, Nadia finds herself among the gypsies, where she must navigate a world of secrets and shifting loyalties. With Olga and Myzon watching her every move, and Count Ryzfeld’s shadow looming ever closer, Nadia must decide who she can trust—and what she’s willing to risk to keep her freedom.

Julia, the quiet and thoughtful club member, finds herself unexpectedly paired with Mike Southern, the new arrival and self-proclaimed airline pilot, during a committee meeting. When Mike boasts he can secure the Merseybeats for their upcoming dance, Julia’s practical mind is both intrigued and skeptical—especially as the rest of the club teases her for her shyness. Their collaboration sparks a quiet connection, but with so much at stake, will their growing bond be more than just a shared project?
