As long as she can remember, the exquisite Lenore Cleremont has lived at The Silk House, the luxurious English country estate of the wealthy Sallonger family. Neither servant nor true member of the family, she has grown up under the protection of her Grand'mere—who designs the luxurious gowns for the family's vast silk trade in the mansion's attic rooms.

Lenore shows promise as a dress designer herself. But most important, she has won the heart of the two charismatic Sallonger sons: Charles, handsome but cruel, and Philip, as kind-hearted as he is charming.

But tragedy is ready to strike. Soon, Lenore finds herself playing a central role in a drama that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear." Good Reads "Eleanor Alice Burford, Mrs. George Percival Hibbert was a British author of about 200 historical novels, most of them under the pen name Jean Plaidy which had sold 14 million copies by the time of her death. She chose to use various names because of the differences in subject matter between her books; the best-known, apart from Plaidy, are Victoria Holt (56 million) and Philippa Carr (3 million). Lesser known were the novels Hibbert published under her maiden name Eleanor Burford, or the pseudonyms of Elbur Ford, Kathleen Kellow and Ellalice Tate. Many of her readers under one penname never suspected her other identities." Wikipedia
