A year after the birth of their fourth daughter, Victoria Thorton, Countess of Wolfshire, is frustrated that her husband is avoiding her. He is polite and kind and proper with her, but that is part of the problem. He treats her like a society miss and not as his wife. After ten years of marriage and four children, the changes she sees in her husband and her own self, makes Torie uneasy and almost fearful of losing him. Yet, making her husband confide anything in her has become near impossible. After witnessing the horrors of childbirth, when his wife almost died giving birth to their fourth daughter, Alistair Thorton, The Earl of Wolfshire, made a vow to never endanger his wife in that manner again. In the year after his youngest was born, he had painfully but steadily distanced himself from his wife, driven only by the need to keep his wife safe and his family together - his own needs and sorrowed heart be damned. When an irritated Torie overhears a gossip plotting to seduce Alistair and coax him into taking a mistress, Victoria decides to toss aside ton etiquette and approach the four times widowed Carolin for help in persuading her husband back into her bed. When old friends appear, re-kindling long-lost fond and not- so-fond friendships, tempers run high fuelled by jealousy and the Thortons find themselves fighting for what they believed always belonged to them.

Mrs Harrington learns that her daughter who was in Italy had given birth to a son before she died. She sends her other daughter and son to Italy to collect the baby.  | 6 women, 3 men

The country house has a secret... Washed up by a storm at the gates of the local estate, young Agnes Headey has a first impression of brooding silence and faded elegance. When she learns that Master Netherfield's sister is not dead, as all had presumed, she undertakes secret visits to the gentle but troubled woman. Soon Agnes would rather travel the miles between home and Netherfield than countenance the suit by the ardent James Thornton. Lily Netherfield accepts her imprisonment, for her own good. Her sickness has caused enough grief and loss in her family. Just as she hopes perhaps she has grown out of her illness, the sound of light laughter, a kind word and a sweet smile brings it all back, and this time Lily does not want to be cured.With social convention pressuring Agnes to marry for the security of her own future, only unwanted journeys lie ahead, and none of the roads lead to where her heart has finally found a home. In this richly detailed story of Victorian and Regency England, debut author Elizabeth Hart asks the tantalizing question: What if Jane Eyre had lost her heart not to Rochester, but to the woman in the tower?
