In the tradition of the costume dramas serials that captivate millions comes this twelve episode story of the lives and loves of three friends in Victorian England.

Brynthwaite, Cumbria - 1895. Three men who were raised as close as brothers at the Brynthwaite Municipal Orphanage have returned home after making a name for themselves in the world.

This collection contains episodes 1 - 4...


Episode One - A Promising Start:

After leaving Brynthwaite 15 years earlier, Jason Throckmorton has clawed his way to the top of the business world, making a name for himself as a hotelier. Now he is building a luxury hotel in Brynthwaite to draw wealthy tourists to the Lake District. But his real designs are on Lady Elizabeth, the woman he has obsessed about since he was a boy. Jason has a dark secret, though. But help comes in the form of the clever and insightful Flossie Stowe, a maid Jason hires to work in his hotel -- a woman who harbors secrets of her own.

Dr. Marshall Pycroft left Brynthwaite to become a doctor, making a name for himself in London. When Brynthwaite Municipal Orphanage was converted into Brynthwaite Hospital, he returned home to head it, taking his London wife and three daughters with him. Marshall has his hands full between the understaffed, under-funded hospital and his shrewish, overbearing wife. Until Dr. Alexandra Dyson, a lady in her own right as well as a qualified doctor, ask to work with him. But Alexandra's mother has other plans for her disobedient doctor -- plans that could land the hospital in hot water.

Lawrence Smith never truly left Brynthwaite. As the local blacksmith, he plays a pivotal role in town, but as a well-known hedonist and reputed practitioner of old, pagan ways, he is both a subject of fascination and speculation. When a mysterious woman arrives on his doorstep with no memory, speculation runs rampant. How long will it take before her past catches up to her and puts Lawrence in danger?

Episode Two - A Dangerous Corner:

Still without her memory, Matty begins to adjust to Lawrence and the forge. Though haunted bits of her past assail her, she feels safe... but for how long?

Alexandra has at last found a way to be happy in her new home in Brynthwaite. She and Marshall get along perfectly as colleagues at the hospital. But all that is threatened when Lady Charlotte suspects that Alex has deceived her. Meanwhile, Marshall has family problems of his own... problems that throw his entire family into chaos.

At the hotel, Jason is beside himself as one thing after another goes wrong, and all when Lady Elizabeth is only minutes away from paying him a visit. Flossie is quick to find solutions to each problem the hotel faces, but in doing so, she creates a problem that Jason might not be able to fix.

Episode Three - A Difficult Decision:

As Brynthwaite expresses its condolences to Marshall, a new threat looms on the horizon which could put his grieving family in greater danger. Alexandra is able to fill in for him at the hospital, but her mother announces plans that promise to throw her into romantic turmoil...

Jason shares the secret of his mysterious illness with Lawrence, but when Flossie overhears his confession, she is presented with an opportunity that could either save her or damn her...

Lawrence may have vowed to keep Matty safe, but his enemies in Brynthwaite have other plans for her...

Episode Four - A Grand To-Do:

All of Brynthwaite comes out in style for the Grand Opening of The Dragon's Head, but will Jason and Flossie be ready in time...

A figure from Lawrence, Marshall, and Jason's past arrives with information that could spell disaster for Matty...

Alexandra's mother attempts to draw her into romantic intrigue, but when Marshall comes to her rescue, he finds his heart on the line...
