Sunday Times Number Ones

Over 5 million copies sold

Escape into the world of Dilly Court this spring, with the latest unforgettable historical drama from the reader's favourite.

Desperate to protect her family, can Poppy put her trust in a stranger?

When Poppy Robbins is targeted by a blackmailer threatening to reveal secrets from her family’s past, she turns to the mysterious Edward Taverner for help.

Taverner proposes an escape to his country manor, and to maintain a respectable appearance, he asks her to pose as his fiancée. She reluctantly agrees, but then finds herself trapped, unwelcome, and alone in a threadbare mansion.

Has her engagement secret put her in greater danger, or will it change her life forever?
