Vixen, Volume II.

In this sweeping Victorian tale a spirited young woman named Violet navigates a world of staid country gentry and bustling village life. When she and the ever‑vigilant Mrs. Scobel return from a rural walk, the evening’s genteel gatherings already hint at hidden rivalries among the powerful families of the Abbey House. The novel opens with sharp dialogue and a keen eye for the social rituals that both bind and betray those who inhabit the estate.

As the night deepens, Violet discovers that the seemingly tranquil household hides uneasy power struggles, hinted at by a restless butler and whispered rumors among the servants. Against a backdrop of propriety and expectations, she must decide whether to obey the strict codes of conduct or follow her own daring instincts. The early chapters set the stage for a dramatic clash of ambition, secret loyalties, and a love that could upend the fragile peace of the village and its aristocratic neighbors.
