Stolen Joy

A Season of Secrets

In the fancy, but shadowed halls of Avonmouth, young Francis dreams of an escape from the iron grip of her cruel parents.

At sixteen, she longs for warmth, love, and a future that isn’t as cold as the stately home she’s grown up in.

As Christmas approaches, she’s caught between the excitement of festive preparations and the icy atmosphere of duty and disappointment that permeates her home. Then, the mysterious and charming Tremaine family arrives, with their captivating son, Drew.

Francis is whisked into a whirlwind of affection and attention that awakens her deepest hopes.

He promises an escape—a future filled with excitement, romance, and freedom, and offers a taste of the world she’s always yearned for. As their feelings become more intense, Francis begins to see a glimmer of hope for a life beyond her family’s expectations.

But joy soon gets stolen from her, and life takes a turn she could never foresee.
