Can her dreams of independence withstand a dash of love?

Since she was young, Alice McNeil has seen a career as a telegrapher as the best use for her keen and curious mind.
Years later, she doesn’t regret her freedom in foregoing marriage, especially when she acquires a coveted position at an
important trading firm. But when the company’s ambitious junior director returns to London, things begin to change
in ways Alice could never have imagined.

For Douglas Shaw, years of hard work and ingenuity enabled him to escape a life of grinding poverty. He’s now
determined to marry into high society—a step that will ensure he never returns to the conditions of his past.

He immediately earns Alice’s respect by judging her based on her skills and not her gender, and a fast camaraderie
forms. However, when Alice accidentally angers a jealous coworker and his revenge threatens both their reputations,
Alice and Douglas are forced to confront what is truly important in their lives. Will their growing bond give them the
courage to see the future in a different light?
