The Lavender Bride - A BRAND NEW glamorous, gripping historical read from the author of The Hollywood Governess for 2025 (Unabridged)

Preorder the BRAND NEW historical romance from Alexandra Weston, author of The Hollywood Governess An English rose with American dreams

Audrey Wade longs to escape her domineering father and the bleak streets of post-war Yorkshire. Hollywood glitters with glamour, freedom, and the promise of a life with her best friend Freddie. But when Freddie abandons her, Audrey is left to chase her dreams alone.

A Heartthrob with secrets

Rex Trent is more than Hollywood's leading man. Charismatic and dangerously handsome, he's adored by millions and watched by powerful enemies in a paranoid 1950s America. One wrong move could destroy him.

A romance born of ambition and betrayal

When Rex proposes, Audrey is swept into Hollywood's glamour and high-stakes secrets. But she soon discovers Rex's dark side and faces a choice: cling to a man who may never love her, or risk everything to forge her own path?

A gripping new historical novel from a wonderful new voice. Perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins-Reid, Wendy Holden and Allison Pataki.
