One house, two worlds...

Rose Cliffe has never met a young lady like her new
mistress. Clever, rich, and beautiful, Ada Averley treats
Rose as an equal. And Rose could use a friend. Especially
now that she, at barely sixteen, has risen to the position
of ladies’ maid. Rose knows she should be grateful to have a
place at a house like Somerton. Still, she can’t help but
wonder what her life might have been had she been born a
lady, like Ada.

For the first time in a decade, the Averleys have returned
to Somerton, their majestic ancestral estate. But terrible
scandal has followed Ada’s beloved father all the way from
India. Now Ada finds herself torn between her own happiness
and her family’s honor. Only she has the power to restore
the Averley name—but it would mean giving up her one true
love . . . someone she could never persuade her father to
accept.

Sumptuous and enticing, the first novel in the At Somerton
series introduces two worlds, utterly different yet
entangled, where ruthless ambition, forbidden attraction,
and unspoken dreams are hidden behind dutiful smiles and
glittering jewels. All those secrets are waiting . . . at
Somerton.
