Whispers at Highbury

One glance changes everything. One secret could ruin it all. One love she can no longer deny.

Emma Woodhouse has always believed her heart untouchable. Until one unexpected look from her oldest friend, Mr. Knightley, sets her world alight. Amid candlelit assemblies, whispered gossip, and the glittering Highbury Season, Emma finds herself caught between the life she has so carefully arranged and a longing she never dared imagine. But in a society where reputation is everything, passion is a dangerous indulgence… and one misstep could cost her the only man she has ever truly loved.

When a charming newcomer stirs scandal in Highbury, Emma’s carefully laid plans unravel, her matchmaking turns to heartbreak, and old rivalries awaken desires she cannot name. Knightley’s steady presence becomes something more. The brush of his hand, the weight of his gaze, the unspoken promises neither dares to voice. But the same whispers that draw them together threaten to tear them apart, and Emma must decide whether love is worth the ruin it might bring.

In a Season of secrets and stolen glances, can Emma risk everything for the love she’s always denied?
