**Shortlisted for the 2026 Romantic Novelists' Association Romantic Thriller Award** 
A secret lies behind every door… 
The Dordogne, 1936 
Amid tangled gardens and crumbling walls, Chateau Rousseau guards its secrets well. 
Pushing open its faded door, Thirza Caruthers arrives to care for her great-aunt. She's made a promise – unaware of what awaits. 
As the skies darken above Europe, the chateau begins to reveal its secrets: stories of forbidden love, devastating betrayal, and a child who vanished years ago. 
But in uncovering the truth, Thirza may lose herself forever. 
A historical, 20th century tale of fiction and romance, THE LOST CHÂTEAU threads family secrets through bereavement, grief and death, with children at the heart of what was taken. From the Sunday Times bestselling author, this latest story of life and parenthood asks how far love can reach into a century of shadows. 
For fans of Kristin Hannah (The Nightingale), Lucinda Riley (The Seven Sisters), Ariel Lawhon (When We Had Wings), Harry Whittaker (The Last Love Song), and Ann Bennett (The Fortune Teller of Kathmandu).
