One woman. One house. A century of secrets waiting to ignite...
2025: At a lavish wedding in Armstrong House, a mysterious guest shatters Kate and Nico Collins's world with shocking claims about Clara, Nico's grandfather's first wife. Photos reveal Clara at a glittering 1923 party-two years after she was thought to have fled Ireland, after the house supposedly burned to the ground during the War of Independence.
Determined to uncover the truth, Kate delves into the house's dark past and uncovers whispers of a second, hidden tragedy. But Nico resists-because accepting what Kate finds would rewrite his family's legacy and threaten their claim to Armstrong House.
1923: After escaping her troubled marriage to Pierce Armstrong and the fire at Armstrong House, Clara starts anew in London. But tragedy soon calls her home, where she faces rebuilding not only the house but possibly her marriage. As civil war rages outside and eerie events unfold within, Clara realises her return might not be by chance. Surrounded by lies and betrayal, she turns to the only man who ever truly loved her.
2025: As Kate pieces together the past, she discovers how sex, money, jealousy and love collided a century ago-culminating in one fateful night that changed everything.
Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley and Downton Abbey. The next unputdownable chapter in A. O'Connor's bestselling series.
