Dear Future Husband.

 

These three words begin LADY ROSALIE WINTHROP'S every letter. When she was younger, her governess forced her to write letters to improve her penmanship. Now, the missives have become a record of her every thought and emotion - including the unbearable loneliness she faces.

That is when she makes the grandest - and most dreaded - debut in all of England.
