She arrived at Silverthorn Manor with nothing but a false name and a desperate need to survive.

Misty has spent her life on the streets, raising a band of orphaned children and surviving on cunning alone. When she slips inside the grand estate looking for work, she doesn’t intend to stay — and she certainly doesn’t intend to fall in love. But Silverthorn has a way of keeping secrets, and Misty has more than most.

Hidden in the manor’s depths is an undiscovered long-dead man, a stolen fortune, and a journal that sets her on an impossible task: end a century-old feud between two powerful families before the treasure she’s discovered destroys them all.

Jonas Conrad, heir to the Silverthorn earldom, knows there’s something extraordinary about the quiet servant girl who sleepwalks into his life. What he doesn’t know is how many names she’s hiding behind, or how far she’ll go to protect the children she left behind.

When the past comes hunting, and Misty is forced to act, every secret unravels at once — and the life she’s built under borrowed names hangs by a thread.

A sweeping Edwardian romance of hidden identity, forbidden love, and the hands that guide us home
