When duty and desire collide, a family’s secrets threaten to destroy them all. A passion-forged tale of love, betrayal, and the stubborn pull of conscience, this volume follows Alicia, Lucy, and De Lancy as they navigate loss, poverty, and social judgment in a fragile English world.
In Devonshire, appearances mask deep suffering as vanished happiness, ruined fortunes, and a troubled past collide with present choices. The book confronts how loyalty, guilt, and quiet courage shape who we become when the bedrock of family life cracks.
