Cinders & sapphires

For the first time in a decade, the Averleys have returned to Somerton, their majestic ancestral estate. But terrible scandal has followed Ada's father all the way from India. Now Ada finds herself torn between her happiness and her family's honour. Only she has the power to restore the Averley name, but it would mean giving up her one true love, who her father will never accept. Sumptuous and enticing, the first novel in the At Somerton series introduces two worlds, utterly different yet entangled, where ambition, forbidden attraction, and unspoken dreams hide behind dutiful smiles and glittering jewels.
