Summary

Seventeen-year-old Lily Rose has been left to provide for her siblings following the death of her parents, scratching out a living as a lace maker. Hundreds of miles away, Queen Victoria is preparing to wear the most exquisite wedding dress in history, using the famous Honiton lace. When Lily is asked to work on this secret commission it is the answer to her prayers. But when Squire Clinsden issues her with a terrible ultimatum - work for him, and be subject to his unwanted advances, or lose the family home - Lily is torn between her duty and her dreams of a better life.
