Clara Hayes, a 33-year-old librarian in a bustling urban city, has officially sworn off dating apps and awkward coffee dates. Burnt out from ghosting, mismatched expectations, and performative romance, she stumbles across a flyer pinned to the back of a forgotten book: "Revive the Romance Join the Courtship Society." Intrigued, Clara steps into the weathered doors of the Elmwood Historical Society and finds a group of eccentric individuals reenacting 19th-century courtship rituals calling cards, handwritten letters, slow dances under candlelight. At first, she joins for the novelty. But when she meets Elias Wren, a brooding and passionate historian who seems straight out of another era, she's drawn into a romance unlike any she's ever experienced. As Clara immerses herself in the society's customs, she begins to question what love truly means in a world moving too fast for connection. Elias, haunted by his own past heartbreak, resists their deepening bond, afraid it's only fantasy. But their slow-burning romance tests the limits of time, authenticity, and vulnerability offering them a chance to rewrite the rules of love. A love story that blends the nostalgia of the past with the hunger for real connection in the present, The Courtship Society is a tender, unconventional tale of hearts rediscovered.
