Mansion of Whispers
A Regency Gothic Romance of Secrets, Shadows, and Scandalous Longing
When spirited Eleanor Ashcroft leaves the sleepy lanes of Oakhaven for the dazzling ballrooms of Mayfair, she hopes for poetry, passion-and perhaps the thrill of scandal. What she doesn't expect is Sebastian Aldridge: a reserved, magnetic nobleman with a voice like a half-forgotten sonnet and eyes that hold back more than they reveal.
Their stolen glances become whispered letters. Their waltzes, silent promises. But just as their love begins to take root, Sebastian is called back to his ancestral home-Ravenmoor Hall, a storm-swept estate perched on the edge of the northern sea, where silence hangs heavy and history never rests quietly.
Weeks pass. No word comes.
Then, an invitation: Eleanor must travel north, alone, to meet the reclusive Lord Alaric Aldridge, Sebastian's father. What awaits her is not merely a faded castle wrapped in mist, but a family bound by ancient secrets, a household teetering on the brink of something unseen-and a love that may be tested by more than distance.
For fans of Daphne du Maurier, Laura Purcell, and the Brontës, Mansion of Whispers is a sweeping, emotionally lush gothic romance, steeped in mystery, wit, and the kind of slow-burning passion that lingers long after the last page.
