Deception

Description

Charlotte Wyndham's dreams of falling in love and marrying are dashed when her father is imprisoned for fraud before she had even completed her first season. In Victorian England, her family's disgrace left her cast out of aristocratic society, and meant she could never hope to find a suitable husband and a wealthy future. Alone in the world, Charlotte had resigned herself to a life of poverty and drudgery in London. But then Charlotte's childhood friend, Verity Conniston, rescues her from her miserable London existence and takes her to live on the beautiful Conniston estate in the Kent countryside. There Charlotte slowly rebuilds her life as she becomes like family to Verity, her husband Guy and their daughters. When Ket, Guy's handsome younger brother, returns home, Charlotte finally realises that there are still some dreams that she can never hope to come true. But can life on a beautiful country estate ever compensate her lost dreams? How long can this idyllic life last before her family's past returns to haunt her?
