A festive house party, a forbidden attraction…

A man out of place but captivated…

Ashley Spencer has worked his way up from the stables to a temporary post inside the manor, but the glittering holiday gatherings seem worlds away from his life. Until he meets the countess. Beneath the festive garlands and candlelit halls, he discovers a woman he’s bound to protect—even as he’s falling deeply in love with her.

A love that defies all expectations…

Under mistletoe and moonlight, Katherine and Ashley cross the boundaries of class and age, drawn together by a love as fierce as it is unlikely. But with Katherine’s past threatening to shatter their newfound happiness, will the season’s magic be enough to protect their hearts?

THE BLAKELEY MANOR SERIES

Two families, from very different worlds, are about to converge at Blakeley Manor…

Upstairs…

Downstairs…

Four very different siblings–a lady’s maid, a housekeeper, a gardener, and a groom–are tied together, not only by the love and loyalty they share but by dangerous secrets that could cost them not only their employment…but also their hearts.

In this steamy, cross-classing series from bestselling Regency romance author Fenna Edgewood, mismatched hearts fall the hardest at Blakeley Manor and the journey to love is unforgettable!
