The Wallflower — Linda Francis Lee

In the heart of Texas lives a family as big and bold as the state itself. The Daltrys are as different as they come, each with his or her own strengths--and weaknesses. Every time a Daltry turns twenty years old, they are presented with a task by their grandmother. These challenges are intended to teach them about character--but they often learn quite a bit about love along the way...

Persy Daltry was the shy girl of the family, spending more time cooking than courting. Though she loved her family and the Daltry ranch, she secretly longed for a more sophisticated lifestyle, like the refined people she had read about in her books. And when her grandmother seat her to New York City for a year to debut with her cousin, it seemed like a dream come true. But she didn't plan on missing home so much, or noticing the arrogance of high society. She didn't plan on working in a saloon owned by Jake Devlin, the handsome and notorious "Prince of Prince Street." And she definitely didn't play on falling is love...
