When book conservator Anna discovers a cache of Victorian letters hidden in an Oxford archive, she finds more than a historical curiosity. The correspondence between a gentlewoman and her dressmaker reveals an erotic dynamic of command and surrender-one that speaks to desires Anna has never been able to name.
Then she meets Margot, the chef who runs the university canteen with quiet authority, and Anna begins to wonder if she might finally have found what she's been looking for. But wanting something and knowing how to ask for it are different things. And borrowing the words of a woman dead for a century is easier than finding her own.
The Silk Thread is a novel about desire-how we discover it, how we articulate it, and how we learn to build something real instead of chasing someone else's ghost. It's literary fiction with heat, for readers who like their romance thoughtful and their heat earned.
