In Sheffield, Yorkshire, 2019, Katerina Greene goes back to the home she had left behind years before. The life that left her scarred forever. 
Now with no family left in this life what was she to do? 
Well, life's funny that way. When something big happens, it takes a major turn. Or, in her case, a major fall.

In Sheffield, Yorkshire, 1865, Lord Maxwell Knight goes back to the old family home, for a funeral and an awkward family reunion. He thought he could escape all the old memories and scarring by delving into his role as the Duke of Handsworth, the head of his family, but it wasn't enough. 
But one mysterious night, everything begins to change.
He found, lying in a pond on his estate, a very unconscious and strangely dressed woman. And when she wakes up and roams a home she knows as her own, she brings beauty, happiness and ideas to his family, his estate and to most especially him. With also a sharp tongue to shock him here and a thoughtful comment to surprise him there, he is constantly amazed by her. 

Katerina worries as her fear of suddenly returning back to her time grows. To leave a man she is growing to love? A family she cares for? 
And how would her actions change the course of her home's history?

"I fear I still do not have a name to match the beauty before me." He began. "Must that always be the only thing you wish to know?" She sighed heavily, looking over to her right where the king and queen sat on their thrones, watching the couple with hopeful stares. Two fingers under her chin brought her attention back to him and despite the mask blocking her view of his brow, she could see the spark of fire in his eyes, "I have plenty of time to know you, my love." He smirked, "as I said, I tend to take the things I want." "You can not steal a woman." Katerina spoke confidently, "Her heart may be locked away." Prince Alexander lowered his lips to the shell of her ear, each syllable tickling her skin, "Tell me where to find it then." ~•~•~ After the death of the queen, the king, overcome by sadness, begins to lust after his own daughter who is an exact replica of her mother. He plans to marry her but she manages to stall the wedding long enough to be able to escape. After escaping from her home and her grotesquely deranged father with three dresses and a cloak made of every pelt in the royal forest, she is lost. Taking refuge in a hollow tree she doesn't realize she has wandered into another King's territory...

That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst. And Benedict, the Lord of Devonshire and the eldest of the clan, is as mysterious and brooding as anyone The Town has ever seen. His face is marked with scars, and no one dares to speak on how he got them. Known to all as 'the beast,' the townsfolk tremble in his wake. But little does he know that he is about to meet his match in Agatha Blair, his sisters' new governess.

She truly intrigues him more than any woman he has met but she is a governess and he is a Lord. The Town would shun the union of two people from different stations and any romance between them is surely a recipe for social disaster! But what can they do when the burning hot feelings refuse to relent? And when Benedict uncovers that Agatha is hiding a secret far more dangerous than anything he could have imagined, will love save the day and will Agatha finally tame the beast? *This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.
