Mira Ashworth, Duchess of Ravensmoor, rose before dawn every morning. She kept the accounts, nursed the sick, rebuilt the cottages after the flood, and arranged every flower on every table her husband had ever sat at. Then one evening, he raised his glass — to his aunt. Mira drank her wine, saw the last candle out, and walked downstairs. She laid forty-three keys on the white linen and was gone by six in the morning. What followed was not a scene. It was something quieter, and much harder to recover from. • The moment that broke twelve years of invisible work — and why Mira never raised her voice once • What Frederick found in the little office no one knew existed, and the twelve notebooks that changed everything • How a royal shooting party arriving two days early forced the truth into the open — in front of every guest in the house Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
