About this listen

A night to remember

A secret to uncover …

Nestled in the snow-dusted hills of the Cotswolds, Clarendon Hall sparkles with wealth and privilege.

Between the elegance and the glamour, secrets linger in the shadows.

Fleeing a scandal that threatens to end her glittering career, Fliss Courtney accepts an invitation to spend Christmas there with the celebrated Oliver family.

She is looking for a discreet hideaway. But with actor Kit Forrest – the man who stole her heart and broke it – on the guest list, old wounds flare and passions reignite.

Behind the champagne and roaring fires, dangerous secrets stir. As snow falls over the grand estate, can Fliss confront the most explosive revelation of all – the truth about her own past?
