The year is 1911. And at The Manor, nothing is as it seems . . .
Lady Charlotte Edmonds: Beautiful, wealthy, and sheltered, Charlotte feels suffocated by the strictures of upper-crust society. She longs to see the world beyond The Manor, to seek out high adventure. And most of all, romance.
Janie Seward: Fiery, hardworking, and clever, Janie knows she can be more than just a kitchen maid. But she isn't sure she possesses the courage -- or the means -- to break free and follow her passions.
Both Charlotte and Janie are ready for change. As their paths overlap in the gilded hallways and dark corridors of The Manor, rules are broken and secrets are revealed. Secrets that will alter the course of their lives. . . forever.
I’m a huge Katherine Longshore fan and an even bigger Downton Abbey-era fan so I’m definitely eager for this one to release.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

I've not ever read any books by Longshore but this sounds interesting and that dress on the cover. I want it! So beautiful! Do you think they two ladies switch places?

The girl on the cover looks like someone famous, but I can't work out who. 😛 This book sounds really good! I haven't read anything by Longshore before but I've heard nothing but good things, so I'm definitely hoping to soon. Great pick. 🙂
