Perfect for you if...

You enjoy historical romance with genuine mystery at its core, where the love story and the plot twists are equally compelling.
You appreciate complex characters with dark pasts who must navigate family betrayal and societal judgment while finding unexpected connection.
You're drawn to paranormal elements woven subtly into historical settings, where psychic abilities feel like a natural part of the world rather than a gimmick.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer light, straightforward romance without heavy themes of blackmail, scandal, or family trauma.
You want a fast-paced thriller where the mystery dominates; this prioritises character and emotional stakes alongside the plot.
You're uncomfortable with paranormal elements or prefer stories grounded entirely in historical realism.

About this book

After Lionel De Vere's mysterious disappearance, his brother Garrick becomes heir to an estate marked by scandal. Blackmailed by their powerful father, Garrick returns to England following a decade-long exile, forced to confront his past and defend himself against those who sought his permanent banishment. Lady Olivia Grey and her daughter both possess the ability of sight. This gift compels Olivia to leave her loveless marriage and become entangled in a bitter rivalry between two brothers, endangering both herself and her daughter as lies, secrets, and old passions threaten those around them. Thrown together by a shared past, Garrick and Olivia work to uncover a legacy of deceit and pursue a love that stands against the world they know.
