She thought she was an ordinary caretaker. She was actually the key to an ancient flight. Daphne Garlin has spent her life in the shadows, a sheltered caretaker who studied nursing to keep her grandmother safe. Her only adventures happened in her dreams, visions of soaring through dark, warm caves and gazing down at a world that seemed far too small. Everything changes on a rooftop in Florence when she saves a mysterious stranger from the edge. Robert De Marco is powerful, brooding, and wealthy beyond measure, but he is haunted by a grief that has left him broken. When he proposes a whirlwind marriage, Daphne takes a leap of faith into his world of Gilded Age estates and dangerous family secrets.
