About this ebook

'Maybe that was the secret of the aristocracy. Maybe they knew how to cover things up better than everyone else...'

Heartbroken after a devastating betrayal, Sarah escapes London for a job writing the history of a grand, old manor house called Harlaston Hall. The estate once belonged to her father's family, and as she wanders its silent corridors and forgotten gardens, the house begins to reveal secrets that have laid buried for generations.

Drawn into the story of the enigmatic Robert, Lord Harlaston, Sarah begins to question everything she's been told about her family's past. Was he truly the heartless aristocrat who seduced an innocent village girl? Or was there a forbidden love that history has chosen to forget?

As Sarah pieces together long-hidden letters, whispers of scandal and the lives of those who came before her, she discovers that the truth has the power to change not only the past, but her own future too...

From Edwardian England to the Boer War and the windswept Lincolnshire fens, this is an sweeping novel of family, love and secrets. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley and Santa Montefiore.
