Palmer Girl

When insurance tycoon, Cornelius Nordeman, is recruited to work for the Exposition Corporation, the New Yorker brings his family to live at the Palmer House Hotel, far away from any reminders of a recent tragedy. He's hopeful this move will offer respite from his family's grief.

Elizabeth Nordeman, his daughter, has something to prove, which leads her to seek work as a florist at Marshall Field's, Chicago's finest department store.

John Lewis knows something is different and intriguing about the new florist he hired. When his boss, Marshall Field, informs him that Elizabeth is the Nordeman heiress, his job suddenly becomes more complicated--especially when he finds himself falling for her.

On the eve of the Columbian Exposition of 1893, Chicago prepares to prove that it's a first-class city, and the brightest minds from around the country will plan the most spectacular fair the world has seen.

The World's Fair will bring change and innovation into a society bound tightly by class and tradition. Elizabeth's heart longs to push against those boundaries, so what's holding her back?
