The Long Road to Loving Byron (for release 25 December 2024)

A castle steeped in mystery, a handsome butler, an age-old secret, and a daring Aussie with a thirst for adventure.

Deep in the heart of Tasmania’s Lorienne Castle, a dark and twisted secret lies waiting to be uncovered. Aussie Madeleine Brande is determined to unravel the mystery that has plagued her family for generations, and which may hold a key to her ailing grandmother’s recovery. But as she delves into the castle’s history, Madeleine must also confront her own guilt and fears while navigating what lurks in the shadows.

She’s not alone in her quest. The castle’s charming, if annoyingly nosy, butler becomes an unexpected ally. But will their blossoming relationship be torn apart by conflicting goals, or by other forces, seen or unseen?

If you enjoy the spellbinding Gothic romance of stories like Silent Deception by Cathie Dunn, or Charlotte Bronte’s timeless Jane Eyre, then you won't want to miss Alicia Hope's captivating new Cosy Gothic novel, The Long Road to Loving Byron.
