Ashford Hall

"Ashfords don't raise voices. They raise expectations."
Katherine Caroline Ashford was born into elegance. Polished silver, antique china, and silence passed down like heirlooms. In Ashford Hall, the rules are unspoken. The doors stay closed. And girls like her learn early how to smile, even when they don't mean it.
But behind the gowns and generations... there a fractures. Disappeared mothers. Dinners that feel like theatre. Cameron boys who leave shadows in every room.
But beyond the gilded gates of Ashford Hall, there is sunburnt chaos, reckless laughter, Pogues who live by no one's rules, gold waiting to be found.
JJ Maybank is everything she has been raised to avoid. But he might be the first person to see her at all.
Ashford Hall is rotten. Maybe it's finally time for the castle to crumble.
