(2024)(The first book in the Tillingford Hall series)
A novel by Flora Dunn
2025 RNA: Debut Romantic Novel Award (finalist)
According to Tatler’s Little Black Book, The Honourable Guy Tillingford is Britain’s twenty-ninth most eligible bachelor, after the Marquess of Granby and grime artist Tornado.
With a seven-year-old daughter, Hatty, to care for, studious divorcee Alice Merrow doesn’t have time for celebrity gossip. She’s on secondment at Hampshire’s famous Tillingford Hall for one job – to catalogue Lord Tillingford’s unrivalled collection of miniature portraits. She knows Guy is way out of her league and couldn’t be interested in a tired single mum like her… could he?
When Alice and her flamboyant boss, Desmond Kingston-Campbell, realise that everything – and everyone – at Tillingford Hall are not as they seem, their discoveries could tear the Tillingford family apart.
And can Guy get over supermodel Sahara Seaton-Smyth to find true love with a woman who could help him put Tillingford Hall on the map and drag his family into the twenty-first century?
