Their arrangement was unspoken, their longing undeniable
Celia Fletcher left her home in Richmond, Virginia to become an English Viscountess, promised a magical fairytale. What she got was a cold, empty mansion and a husband who looks increasingly as if he’s lied about everything.
The cold walls and isolation begin to weaken the once-confident and powerful daughter of a railroad baron. Plagued by nightmares and frozen in fear as the winter closes in, she retreats to her one private a secret boudoir of black satin and roses, filled with provocative art that reflects the passion she longs for… if only she were brave enough to take it.
Thomas Henderson was hired by Lord Moxley to be butler to an empty house. The man himself absconded under a cloud of infidelity and debt, leaving a frightened American struggling to keep her head above water in a new city. He knows it’s wrong; he knows the line is there for a reason, never to be crossed. However… he can’t help his conscience whispering or his heart pleading. Day by day, his resolve to remain professional and unaffected disintegrates.
Soon enough, their affair is London’s worst-kept secret. The man who had been hired to maintain the household is replacing his remiss employer in every way.
When it becomes clear Moxley isn’t only a liar, but a fraud, Celia and Henderson plan their final act of defiance. As the colonies fought for their independence, so does Celia Fletcher. And her revolution begins in the shadows of a satin-draped room, where not only feelings are exposed.
