Alex & Eliza (The Alex & Eliza Trilogy, Bk. 1)

As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, the Schuyler sisters prepare for one of New York society's grandest events: their family's annual ball. While Angelica and Peggy swoon over the dashing young men who will be in attendance, Eliza is more reserved. She may be heiress to a huge fortune, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't rather be aiding the colonists' cause than dressing up for suitors at a silly party.

Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington's right-hand man. Alex - who is an orphan, and a bastard one at that - can't believe how lucky he is to be in such esteemed company. And when Alex and Eliza meet on that fateful night, so begins an epic love story that would forever change the course of American history.
