Description

Anna Estcourt is the poor dependent of her aloof brother and his infuriating wife. She did not accept all proposals of marriage, disdainful at the idea of relying on a man for love and care, she reasons only of supporting herself. Out of nowhere, Uncle Joachim, the brother of her mother, gives her a beautiful property in Germany. Her dream of freedom is finally achieved, and although it’s a hard start with the society, she likes her new place. Driven to help others from her acquired property, she plans to welcome troubled noblewomen, an endeavor which requires a bigger physical and affectionate work more than she can bear. Though she is still not really into men, her closeness with her neighboring landlord, Axel Lohm, might make her life lighter to take.
