The Sugar Lady

In the heart of an elegant ducal estate in Victorian England, Lady Adelaïde hides a dream that could destroy everything she has ever known: becoming a chocolatier.
When Damien, a young aristocrat from Paris, arrives at the estate, an unexpected bond begins to form between them. But behind polished smiles and grand halls, the Beaumont family guards secrets buried for years-secrets Lady Adelaïde's mother will do anything to protect.
As forbidden feelings, family loyalties, and long-hidden truths collide, Adelaïde must decide whether to follow the path chosen for her... or risk losing everything for a future that was never meant to be hers.
Some secrets are sweeter than chocolate.
Others leave a bitter taste that never fades.
