Daisy should have been born a commoner. Social anxiety and the expectations of nobility don't go together. If her brother, Jarrik, would stop pushing her to marry, she could enjoy a quiet life at home. When Jarrik forces her to get fitted for unique ballgowns, she meets May. Now the idea of marriage isn't as daunting. Unfortunately, the cute seamstress isn't what Jarrik had in mind.

May worked hard to gain her reputation as a high-quality seamstress, despite her humble background. With one sister ready to sacrifice herself and another constantly daydreaming, May needs to focus on her business. She doesn't have room for romance, especially a complicated one. When Daisy shows up to commission gowns for the Crown Prince's ball, May is drawn to the shy noble. But courting a noblewoman isn't her place. Once the gowns are finished, she'll have no reason to see Daisy again.

Can Daisy and May find a way around their differences to earn happiness?
