    Summary

    Adeline Carter has spent eight years refusing every marriage proposal placed before her. Newly arrived in London, her parents are determined to secure her place in society-and they are convinced the masquerade hosted by the Duke of Ashford is the perfect place to begin.

    Theodore Ashford has no desire to marry again. Four years after his wife vanished without a trace, he has devoted himself to his estate and his two daughters, convinced that opening his heart a second time can only lead to more heartbreak. Yet duty demands a duchess, and an heir.

    When a chance encounter in a quiet library brings together two strangers hiding from the same glittering ballroom, neither realizes their lives are about to become entwined.

    Summary

    It’s 1928. Charlotte Heywood lives a quiet life in Willingden, helping with the family farm and raising her siblings -- all the while dreaming of a wider world she never expects to see. Her greatest connection to the outside world is her older brother William, who left eight years prior to establish a thriving coffee farm in British East Africa. Through William’s letters, Charlotte learns about a land that ignites her greatest imagination: breathtaking landscapes, different cultures, and a cast of colorful characters, including William’s friend, Sidney Parker.

    But the life Charlotte has imagined is shattered by events beyond her control, sending her on an unforgettable journey to the very land she has only known through William's words.

    Summary

    WWII is finally over.

    Skipping ahead it’s 1946, London was a city of dramatic contrasts, defined by both severe postwar austerity and a resilient, optimistic spirit. While the fighting had stopped, the city still bore the physical, emotional, and economic scars of the Blitz, with rubble-strewn streets and shortages dominating daily life.
