In developmentIn late nineteenth-century England, Evelyn Ravenshaw sacrifices her first love, Leo Fenwick, to save her family through marriage to kind, wealthy Julian Ashbury. Yet neither duty nor time can sever their bond. As obsession, grief and guilt consume two households, Evelyn and Leo’s forbidden attachment leaves marriages fractured, children lost, and every promise corrupted by the love they cannot abandon.
Not what they did for love. What love made of them.
