About the stories in this book collection

Wideacre
Wideacre Hall, set in the heart of the English countryside, is the ancestral home that Beatrice Lacey loves. As an eighteenth-century woman with no right of inheritance, Beatrice’s passion turns dangerous: corrupted by a society that mistreats women, she embarks on a ruthless path to possess the land. Sexual and wilful, her moral descent leads to a series of shocking crimes and consequences that make Wideacre an unforgettable historical drama and a standout in this children’s series of adult historical fiction (note: not a children’s book).

The Favoured Child
The Wideacre estate lies bankrupt and ruined, yet in the Dower House two children are raised in protected innocence. Equal claimants to the inheritance, bound by a secret childhood betrothal and forbidden to marry, these rivals fight for love, power and survival. The Favoured Child continues the Wideacre saga with palpable tension, moral ambiguity, and the kind of character-driven plotting that has made this author a household name among historical fiction readers.

Meridon
Meridon is the story of a desolate Romany girl determined to escape poverty. Riding bareback with a travelling show while her sister Dandy risks life on the trapeze, Meridon vows to free them both from danger and want. When Dandy’s impulsive choices leave Meridon alone, she rides through Sussex towards Wideacre — the house that will welcome the last of the Laceys. Meridon blends wanderlust, grit and a fierce female resolve in a moving, atmospheric tale.
