Can two sisters overcome heartbreak, danger and devastating secrets in their pursuit of happiness in this Victorian Romance?



31 December, 1838. A storm is raging outside Kenilworth Hall. Inside, Lord Kenilworth’s wife is in agony in the middle of a difficult labour. Lady Kenilworth doesn’t survive the birth but, against all odds, her baby daughter does.



Baby Storm grows into a headstrong and adventurous child, close to her sister, Eloise, who has acted like a mother to her, and their neighbours at Chislestone Manor – her best friend Cissie and Cissie’s handsome older brother, Hunter, who has promised to marry Storm when she’s older.



But as Storm transforms into a beautiful young woman, ready to make her own way in the world and preparing for her debut into society, she and Eloise must confront heartbreak, tragedy, wickedness and great danger. Can the sisters survive turbulent times ahead to find love and happiness?
