Christmas Secrets at Ashford Manor

By: Godwin, Faye

When twelve-year-old Opal Hartwell's father vanishes after witnessing a nobleman's murder, her world shatters. Branded the daughter of a fugitive, she's condemned to three years of harsh servitude at Ashford Manor-punished for a crime she knows her father didn't commit.

Opal's only solace is Edmund Ashford, the kind-hearted heir whose quiet acts of compassion blossom into a forbidden love. But when Opal finds her father dying in hiding-still fighting to prove his innocence-she's thrust into a perilous choice: stay silent and safe or expose the true killer.

Lord Ashford. Edmund's father.

With Christmas drawing near and Lord Ashford tightening his grip on the estate, danger lurks in every shadow. Opal and Edmund must decide whether their loyalty lies with blood or with truth-and whether their love can survive the consequences of defying a powerful man.

As lies unravel and loyalties fracture, Opal discovers that some truths demand everything-and that courage, once sparked, can change the course of their lives forever.

Set amid the stark divides of Victorian England, Christmas Secrets at Ashford Manor is a sweeping tale of forbidden love, justice against tyranny, and a daughter's unbreakable devotion to her father.
