This Other Eden (Book 1):
In the 18th Century English countryside, Thomas Eden sits as the last Lord of Eden Castle. A man of brooding desire and sudden passion, he finds himself able to take any woman he likes. Until Marianne Locke. A beautiful, fiery servant girl, Marianne would rather submit to the cruel kiss of the whip than suffer the lust of a man she did not love.
After a horrendous public lashing, Marianne is sent in humiliation her sister Jane in London, to regain her health and spirit. But her troubles seem to be just beginning. Jane’s heart bears no love for Marianne, only a bitter envy of the captivating girl whose beauty and style eclipse her own – and Lord Eden’s own arrival in London is the perfect opportunity for Jane’s malevolence. Still struck by Marianne’s charms, it seems Eden now has an ally in obtaining Marianne for his pleasure…
The Prince of Eden (Book 2):
A tale of two brothers…
Edward Eden may be rich, but he is also the illegitimate son of the late Lord Thomas Eden. Having inherited his father’s vast wealth, but not his title, Edward has poured vast amounts of money into his long-time friend Daniel Spade’s school for the poor in London. That, and Edward’s frequent visits to Newgate Prison, have earned him the title ‘The Prince of Eden’ among London’s lower classes.
But when death strikes close to home, Edward will fall victim to a dangerous addiction…
James Eden — the legitimate son of Lord Eden and Edward’s younger brother — has, in contrast, inherited his father’s title and rank, but not his fortune. And much to his anger, James is forced to live off of the allowance provided to him by his brother. Incensed at having being left out of what he feels rightfully his, what lengths will James go to in order to get his hand on his father’s fortune?
And with James’ housekeeper, Sophia Cranford, and her brother Caleb stirring the flames, perhaps it is only a matter of time before the tension erupts…
The Eden Passion (Book 3):
The year is 1851. Young John Murray Eden has brought his father, the beloved philanthropist Edward Eden, back to the family estate to be buried. He has also come to assert his claim as his father’s rightful heir, despite his illegitimacy and his father’s wilful renunciation of the vast Eden fortunes. Yet the climb to acceptance will prove to be more difficult than he could have imagined.
Meanwhile Lady Harriet Eden, married to the Edward’s brother, leads a life of duplicity. Secretly in love with the deceased Edward, Harriet endures her marriage and strains to keep things normal for her two children. But with John’s arrival, Harriet’s demons resurface. Faced with the a younger version of Edward, the memories she’d suppressed for the sake of her family, arise with vigour…
Despite the obvious physical resemblance, Lady Harriet is under the impression John’s mother died while he was an infant, and Harriet has no choice but to insist John proves his heritage – with disastrous consequences. In a bid to escape the horrors that arise at Eden Castle, John returns to the woman who was more than a mother to him: Elizabeth.
But as John finds his way through life, he realises his path is destined to be rocky – and that it will lead him, inexorably, back to Eden Castle…
The Women of Eden (Book 4):
John Murrey Eden is the dominating force in the lives of the five Eden women. Lady Mary Eden, John’s cousin, is the recipient of his greatest beneficence and the object of his deepest rage. Young and headstrong, Mary is stifled and eventually almost killed by John’s zealous protection.
When she falls in love with Burke Stanhope, a man John despises, battle lines are clearly drawn. Mary must decide if her love for Burke is stronger than her loyalty to the man who has single-handedly rescued her family from financial ruin.
Elizabeth Eden, the closest to a mother John has ever known, lives with Mary in her fashionable London home. As she watches John destroy the family she loves, even she is forced to choose a life independent of him.
Lady Lila Harrington Eden is John’s charmingly free-spirited wife, whose suffering at John’s behest is perhaps the most devastating of all.
Dowager Countess Harriet Eden, Mary’s mother and John’s aunt, lives in a self-inflicted world of darkness as penance for a sin so heinous that only she and John know of its nature.
And finally, Dhari, John’s mistress, whose deep affection for John is replaced by an even stronger love for his solicitor, with catastrophic results.
From Mary’s homosexual brother, whose lover dies unexpectedly, to the editor of the London Times, whose illustrious career is placed in jeopardy, John Murrey Eden makes his indelible mark on everyone…
Eden Rising (Book 5 – January 2018):
Eden Rising follows the tempestuous stations of aristocrat John Murrey Eden’s perilous path through sin and privation to redemption and the peace that only love can bestow.
When the tyrannical Eden first encounters the simple country nurse Susan Mantle, he is a desperate man, sick with an illness both of the body and the spirit. Haunted by the ghosts of cruel acts which stalk the corridors of the family manse, tortured by memories of children lost and loves turned to hatreds, he seeks only the escape that death can bring — until Susan, every inch his equal in strength of will, urges him back to health and out of England, searching to recapture so much that, in his blindness, he had once spurned.
It is a search that will challenge him as never before, that will hurl him into the vortex of the winds of change, will risk his life and punish him for his’long years of culpability. But, above all, it is a journey that will ultimately carry him home to a glorious acknowledgement of the greatest blessing of all — the blessing of a woman’s selfless love.
Deeply romantic, profoundly felt and vividly recounted, Eden Rising is a tale as compelling as it is intensely moving. With this fifth volume of the Eden series, Marilyn Harris has created a treasure trove for readers everywhere.
