The Hazelwood Girl: Victorian Romance
Rosie Swan
She was sent away to be forgotten. Instead, she found the only place she ever truly belonged.
When six-year-old Thomasin Pearce is quietly removed from her chaotic London family and shipped off to relatives she has never met, no one expects much to come of it. But at Hazelwood Farm, something unexpected happens — Thomasin is loved.
She finds a home in the rolling Hampshire countryside, a fierce and beautiful cousin in Ariana, and the lingering gaze of a certain farmer's son that she tries very hard not to think about. For the first time in her life, she matters.
Then it's taken from her.
Dragged back to London and placed under the roof of a stepfather whose charm conceals something deeply sinister, Thomasin must survive a world that has never once asked what she wants. But the girl who learned to be invisible has also learned to be patient — and she has not forgotten Hazelwood, or the people waiting there.
A slow-burn romance wrapped in a rich Victorian family saga, Lifelong Friends is the story of a young woman who was never meant to be the heroine of anyone's story — least of all her own.
Until she was!
Perfect for fans of heartfelt historical fiction with a slow-burn romance, an unforgettable family saga, and a heroine who will stay with you long after the last page.
