What to expect
England, 1904.
Christmas at Ashmore Castle should be a time of celebration - but scandal arrives with snow. The Earl's uncle returns from Italy with a beautiful young bride on his arm, sending shockwaves through the family and threatening Kitty's already fragile place as mistress of the house.
As Kitty wrestles with her marriage and a truth she can't yet reveal, her sister-in-law Rachel risks everything for a forbidden love. Meanwhile, Alice - the Earl's youngest sister - finds herself drawn into a dangerous romance with a man far beneath her station. Downstairs, the staff navigate rivalries, reappointments and suspicions that could ruin more than reputations.
As love and loyalty clash with ambition and duty, the foundations of Ashmore Castle begin to tremble. And with her future on the line, Kitty must summon all her strength - because at Ashmore, secrets don't stay buried for long...
The fourth book in the captivating Ashmore Castle series. Perfect for fans of sweeping period dramas like Downton Abbey, The Crown and Bridgerton.
