La lady di Hatfield

England, late 19th century. Catherine Adams is everything society does not expect from a woman: a landowner, shrewd in business, proudly unmarried. At twenty-four, she has no time for courtship and no room in her heart for romantic illusions. But the return of Maximilian Richardson, a marquis with an impeccable reputation and eyes that know too many secrets, upends all her certainties.

Twelve years away from London were not enough to erase the bond—or the wounds—between Catherine and Maximilian. When their paths cross again, nothing is as it once was: the past knocks insistently, hidden truths emerge, and what once was pride may reveal itself as regret. Amid dances, stolen letters, and glances that speak louder than words, unfold also the stories of Jane, romantic and determined, and James, disarmingly charming, who stirs hearts more than afternoon tea.

A delicate and passionate homage to Jane Austen, where love makes its way with grace amid duties, secrets, and the most difficult battle of all: the one against oneself.
