Synopsis

A tale of passion, secrets, and high-stakes power set in a grand country house and fashionable New York streets.

In a world of wealth and refined manners, a brilliant lawyer named Hamilton crosses paths with Marita, the Judge’s enigmatic daughter. From the polished drawing rooms of Lindenhurst to the bustling streets of New York, power, desire, and duty collide as two lives threaten to unravel. The story follows the pull of a dangerous attraction and the weight of expectations that family and society place on choices of the heart.

With vivid scenes, timeless manners, and a tense emotional core, this novel explores how longing can challenge loyalty, and how a single decision can alter a future kept carefully in check.

• Atmospheric settings that move from country mansions to urban offices and clubs


• Characters drawn with strength, charm, and inner conflict


• Themes of love, power, sacrifice, and the costs of choice

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical romance blended with personal struggle and suspenseful, character-driven drama.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hamilton, if he heard the rush of falling water? It sounds quite near, replied Hamilton, listening. Well, right up there, said the Judge, indicating the direction with his whip, a mountain torrent tumbles into a deep ravine, and becomes the well-behaved brook under the bridge we re on. I dont wonder you re devoted to this place, Judge. Wait a little you havent seen much of it yet. They drove on up the hill, until through a break in the trees at a turn of the road, Hamilton saw the town they had left, far below them. I didnt realize we were up so high, he said with some surprise. Yes, its a steady ascent the whole two miles, replied the Judge. Look ahead of you, there I want to know what you think of that. That was a colonial house, surrounded by stately trees and commanding a view of the whole valley. It was one of those time-stained dwellings imbued with the charm only bestowed by the passing of many lives.
