A Private Obligation
Desire. Defiance. A secret history finally revealed. Set in the glittering yet repressive world of early 20th-century Britain, A Private Obligation is a story based on true events, long buried beneath the weight of tradition and silence. When society demands conformity, three bold lives refuse to obey. Rex Whistler, a brilliant artist from humble origins, is determined to charm his way into the aristocracy with nothing but talent, wit, and ambition.
Desire. Defiance. A secret history finally revealed. Set in the glittering yet repressive world of early 20th-century Britain, A Private Obligation is a story based on true events, long buried beneath the weight of tradition and silence. When society demands conformity, three bold lives refuse to obey. Rex Whistler, a brilliant artist from humble origins, is determined to charm his way into the aristocracy with nothing but talent, wit, and ambition.
Lady Caroline Paget, glamorous, rebellious, and bisexual, eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anglesey, faces a marriage arranged to save her family's fortune-but not her soul.
Audrey Carten, her lover, a firebrand playwright, risks everything to carve a life on her own terms.
Sir Robert Hawley, murderous and manipulative, wants to acquire the mining rights to Anglesey and extend his coal mining empire. The way to do this? Marry Caroline. As war looms and the old world begins to crack, choices must be made between survival and selfhood in a society that punishes difference. Rich with romance, danger, and the unspoken truths of a vanished era, A Private Obligation is a riveting blend of historical fiction and hidden LGBTQ+ history-where every scandal hides a heartbeat. Who will fulfil their private obligation?
