NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES
The Duke of Castamar was once a noble figure who played a crucial role in his family´s royal council. But ever since his wife´s tragic death, he´s been living in mourning, forgoing his noble duties.
Clara, born into gentility but hard-up since the death of her beloved father, has taken to solitude in her grief, rarely leaving the confines of her beloved kitchen. But she must find a way to make a living, which is how she finds herself travelling to the Duke´s great home to work in the kitchen...
Clara attempts to hide her secret skills, but when she´s greeted by the chaos of the Castamar kitchens, she cannot resist performing a makeover – much to the disdain of formidable housekeeper Ursula.
And when the Duke learns of Clara´s talents, he soon finds himself falling for her. Meanwhile, there are people masquerading as his friends who threaten to bring him down... In a world of royal duties, sordid affairs and complicated politics, will there be chance for the unlikely romance to blossom?
