As the magic of a New York Christmas fades, a shocking revelation forces a young fiancée to choose between her heart and her conscience.

New York, 1847. Dewy-eyed debutante Elanora Travers has everything a young woman could desire - a loving family, a promising future, and a devoted fiancé. She dreams of marrying her childhood sweetheart, and his expected proposal on her 21st birthday is everything she hoped for. But her joy turns to anguish when she uncovers a devastating deception that could destroy her fiancé's reputation and tear their families apart.

Gifted Spanish photographer Raphael Castellanos is captivated by Elanora's beauty and determined to capture her fresh vitality in daguerreotype - until her father makes it clear no daughter of his will ever be displayed on a gallery wall.

As her engagement unravels and her world tilts off its axis, Eleanor is adrift and unprotected in the treacherous glitter of New York society. With a tragic love triangle forming before her eyes and secrets burning within her, she has an impossible Christmas choice. Will she defy convention, expose the truth and bring shame on those she loves most? Or can she negotiate an alternative course which may trigger consequences for generations to come?

And will an unexpected offer of redemption be enough to overcome the sins of the past?

In a city where appearances are everything, Elanora must decide what truly matters most.
