England, 1912. Seventeen-year-old Rose Cliffe has just arrived at Somerton Court — not as a guest, but as a lady's maid. Her father's gambling debts have destroyed the family, and now she's serving the very people she once dined with. Below stairs, she's learning the rigid hierarchy of service. Above stairs, the aristocratic Averley family is hiding secrets of their own. There's Ada, trapped in a loveless engagement. Sebastian, the rebellious heir who notices Rose in ways that could ruin them both. And a murder that no one wants solved. Leila Rasheed crafts a Downton Abbey-style world where every glance across class lines is dangerous, every secret has consequences, and one girl must navigate both to survive. First in the At Somerton series. For fans of historical drama, forbidden romance, and upstairs-downstairs intrigue. Perfect if you loved *The Luxe* or binged Downton.
