Description

At Fellside, iron-willed Lady Maulevrier guards a forty-year secret while granddaughters Lesbia and Mary navigate ambition, romance, and Hammond’s dangerous pull as phantom fortune promises more than it can safely give. Mystery, desire, and buried crime share one estate. Spoken as when phantom fortune still asks what a grandmother will hide to keep a family’s shine.
