Mathematical savant, Marigold d'Audsley, is an extremely successful businesswoman. When a fire causes serious damage to the 150-year-old family run boarding school, Castle Mount, she drops everything and returns home.

She quickly realises this is just the tip of the iceberg. She's going to need help to get the school to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and survive into the future. Luckily, feisty family matriarch, Great-Auntie Myrtle, has called in the cavalry. Help is on the way.

Structural engineer Gabriel thought he'd left his school days and best friend long ago. But when a call from his godmother cuts short a perfectly good lie-in, he finds himself right back where he started. His friend Mari is no longer the young girl he left behind. Then again, he's no longer the gangling boy he once was.

But as sparks fly between them, they discover something is seriously wrong at Castle Mount. Can Mari, Gabe and their growing band of helpers save the much loved school before it costs Mari more than money?

From the Ashes is the first book in the Castle Mount Series. Follow the exciting and eventful lives of the beautiful d'Audsley quads, their family and friends in this sweetly romantic and suspenseful series.
