Escape into the world of Dilly Court this spring, with the latest unforgettable historical drama from the reader's favourite.

Desperate to protect her family, can Poppy put her trust in a stranger?

When Poppy Robbins is targeted by a blackmailer threatening to reveal secrets from her family's past, she turns to the mysterious Edward Taverner for help.

Taverner proposes an escape to his country manor, and to maintain a respectable appearance, he asks her to pose as his fiancée. She reluctantly agrees, but then finds herself trapped, unwelcome and alone in a threadbare mansion.

Has her engagement secret put her in greater danger, or will it change her life forever?
