In March 2020, fashion designer Lisa seeks solace in a secluded Ascot cottage after a devastating career setback. There, she stumbles upon the timeworn notebooks of Agnes Fernandes, a young Portuguese woman who arrived in Ascot during the aftermath of Prince Albert's tragic death in 1862. Through their pages, Lisa is transported to the Victorian world of tea parties and hidden aspirations for women's liberation. The tales of bravery, solidarity and love will forever change Lisa's life. Rich in romance and historical splendour, inspired by Ascot’s history, this extraordinary series celebrates the power of resilience and the timeless bond of women throughout the ages.

Treasure in the Attic

"Treasure in the Attic" is the captivating start of the Elizabeth Ascot book series. In March 2020, after her career suffers a sudden collapse, fashion designer Lisa moves into a secluded cottage in Ascot. As she settles into her new home, a series of dramatic events unveils her remarkable past as the creative director of Santierre, one of the world's most renowned fashion brands. She was a close collaborator and confidante of the revered couturier Aron Santierre, who despite his French origins, established his fashion empire in Milan, rather than the expected choice of Paris. Mystery surrounds Lisa and Aron’s relationship and the circumstances leading to her departure from the fashion house.​ In her new home town, Agnes encounters Leo, the charismatic owner of a local eatery. As the world succumbs to the grip of the Covid-19 lockdown, Lisa becomes involved in Leo's initiative to distribute food to the locals and the two of them spend more and more time together. It seems that Lisa is finally regaining her footing, but an unforeseen event resurrects painful memories from her past, shaking her world once again. In the midst of grappling with fresh tragedy, Lisa discovers a mysterious travel trunk tucked away in the attic of her cottage. To her astonishment, the trunk contains the meticulously preserved notebooks of a former occupant dating back to 1862.
