Part of the itch.io bundle

In an alternate Victorian England, Henry Beckwith is a young man who unwillingly inherits his late father’s textile company, and with it the expectation to marry well and keep the Beckwith name afloat. Introduced to London’s social elite, he must put on the act of gentleman, husband, father, and business magnate. But matters spiral when a summons from Lord Hadleigh arrives at Henry’s doorstep, and the request for a fitting reveals that the secrets lurking within Bewcastle Hall are much deeper than Henry’s own.
