Ashgrove Manor
Ashgrove Manor: A Slow-Burn Gothic Romance with Dark Secrets and a Dangerous Master
The gate was iron.
The house was silent.
And something inside Ashgrove Manor was watching her.
Elara Ashby has spent her life uncovering secrets—quietly, precisely, and without fear.
So when she accepts a position as housekeeper at the remote and imposing Ashgrove Manor, she knows exactly what she’s walking into.
Or so she thinks.
Because this house doesn’t just keep secrets…
It protects them.
From the moment she arrives, the warnings begin.
A fleeing girl.
Locked corridors no one will speak of.
Accounts that don’t add up.
And a master who rules his estate with cold control—and eyes that see far too much.
Caspian Vane is not a man to be questioned.
Dark. Watchful. Dangerous in ways no one will name.
But Elara didn’t come here to obey.
She came for the truth.
And the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes—
Something was buried at Ashgrove Manor decades ago.
A woman erased.
A fortune built on silence.
And a secret powerful enough to destroy everything… including the man she’s beginning to understand.
Because the closer she gets to the truth…
The closer she gets to him.
And some obsessions are far more dangerous than secrets.
