The Night Garden

Georgianna Bennett knows how to disappear when she must. She is only a guest at her aunt’s country estate, staying quietly and temporarily, keeping her past carefully concealed — especially from the ambitious stepfamily she has spent years avoiding. When they arrive at Ashcombe eager for advantage and advancement, Georgianna understands the danger at once. Visibility is not safety. It is currency. And she cannot afford to be spent. Prince Henry comes to Ashcombe on estate business, accustomed to respect, obedience, and admiration wherever he goes. What he does not expect is Georgianna: intelligent, guarded, unimpressed — and determined to keep her distance. She does not chase him. She does not flatter him. She avoids him entirely. But as social pressure tightens and her stepfamily’s ambitions grow bolder, chance meetings away from watchful eyes begin to draw them together. Georgianna recognizes Henry’s privilege and finds him infuriating — yet she cannot ignore the rare moments when he, too, seeks escape from the expectations closing in around them both. Every encounter is a risk. Every look lingers too long. And every choice threatens to expose secrets that could cost Georgianna her freedom — and Henry far more than his pride. In a world ruled by rank, ambition, and appearances, can two people who crave distance and autonomy find each other… without being discovered?
