Thomas Baldwin finds himself married to a woman he can't stand, while head-over-heels in love with another woman he can't have. Talk about bad planning. He feels like a kite, buffeted by circumstances which blow him not only through personal crises, but also through some of the most significant events in Pittsburgh during the late 1800s, including the railroad riots of 1877, the creation of the Homestead Steel Works, the assassination of President Garfield, and the Johnstown Flood.

Miss Jane Fairfax has spent her life—though poor and expecting the eventuality of a governess position—by the side of a colonel’s daughter, living beyond the means she was born into. When she meets the enigmatic and handsome Frank Churchill in Weymouth, she can’t help but fall for him. Mr. Frank Churchill, the heir to his aunt’s fortune and dependent on her goodwill, knows that he cannot marry without Mrs. Churchill’s permission. Desperate to marry Jane, he proposes not only marriage but a plan to hide their engagement until his aunt approves of the match.

So, I have a problem. There’s this guy, Darcy, that keeps showing up in my life. No, my life is not going to turn into this enemies-to-lovers story. Attraction between opposites is NOT really a thing. Trust me. Well, at least I hope not. Because I might be in love with my college professor. At least, I thought I was. But he’s clearly not in love with me. Wow, that was embarrassing. So much for some sort of May-December romance or happily-ever-after. How much more heartbreak can I take?
