Perfect for you if...

You loved Downton Abbey and want that same blend of upstairs glamour and servants' quarters intrigue, but in novel form.
You're drawn to historical romance where the stakes are financial ruin, not just emotional drama.
You enjoy watching characters navigate duty versus desire in Edwardian England, with multiple perspectives woven together.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels over series openers that leave threads for the next book.
You want action-driven plots rather than character studies of families adjusting to new circumstances.
You're looking for contemporary settings or fast-paced thrillers instead of slow-burn period drama.

About this book

In 1901, Giles of the Tallant family becomes Earl of Stainton following his father's death in a hunting accident. He must abandon his independent life away from Ashmore Castle to assume leadership of the family and manage their affairs. With the Tallants and their household staff adjusting to upheaval, Giles discovers he has inherited not only the title and castle but also his father's substantial debts, which jeopardize the family's future. Meanwhile, Kitty Bayfield, a shy but wealthy Baronet's daughter, has recently finished school alongside her penniless companion Nina. Nina attracts Giles's affection, but only Kitty possesses the financial means to rescue his family from ruin. Giles faces a conflict between his duty to his family and his personal desires. This is the first book in a historical family drama series set within Ashmore Castle, exploring themes of duty, romance, and hidden secrets. The next book in the series is The Affairs of Ashmore Castle.
