Hidden at Woodrush Hall

The Characters

Lara Vellon / Rose St Andrews

Lara Vellon lost everything the night one devastating mistake changed her life. Four years later, she’s known only as ‘Rose’—a quiet servant at Woodrush Hall, hiding a past too tragic to reveal and secrets that could shatter everything if uncovered.

Arthur Camden

Arthur, the youngest son of the Duke of Belcourt, has always been certain of everything—except Lara, his father’s ward. Loving her was inevitable. Losing her shattered him. When she vanished without a trace, his world fell apart. Years later, a chance arrival at a remote Scottish estate stirs a haunting suspicion: she’s there. This time, he will find her.

Emilia Buchan

Emilia, the marquis’s only daughter from his first marriage, has inherited the gift of second sight—what she calls ‘knowings.’ But even she doesn’t always trust her instincts. Still, one thing is clear: Rose is hiding something. It doesn’t take a special gift to see that. Emilia longs for the day Rose will trust and confide in her—especially about the quiet sobs at night and the scar on her neck.

Harry Buchan

Harry, the marquis’s eldest son and Emilia’s older brother, is charming and quick-witted. Harry masks his recklessness with humor, pushing people too far and laughing it off like a game. Rose fears Harry is a tragedy waiting to happen. She hates thinking it, but she’s known the worst of men and can’t ignore the signs.
