The Surrender
by Jodi Ellen Malpas
2025
After Jude’s betrayal, Amelia is determined to walk away from both him and Arlington Hall. Jude refuses to let her go, and as ex-lovers and old secrets resurface, she must decide how much of her heart and safety she is willing to risk to uncover the truth.
The Invitation
by Jodi Ellen Malpas
2025
Burned by a recent breakup, hardworking Amelia Lazenby accepts a spa day at Arlington Hall and instead collides with its brooding owner, Jude Harrison. Their steamy encounter turns into an intense affair that exposes the calculated way he brought her into his world.
Series background & context
The Arlington Hall series blends billionaire obsession with the glossy setting of an exclusive English country spa. Both books follow Amelia Lazenby, an overworked career woman whose friends send her to Arlington Hall for a day of pampering and who instead finds her life hijacked by its secretive owner, Jude Harrison.
In The Invitation, a steamy chance encounter in a steam room turns into something far more orchestrated when Amelia discovers that Jude arranged their apparent accident. Jude is rugged, possessive, and used to getting what he wants. He offers Amelia a fierce kind of devotion along with a lifestyle built on privilege and control, and she has to decide whether the risk is worth the rush.
Beneath the luxury massages and manicured grounds runs a deeper mystery about why Jude built Arlington Hall, who he allows through its doors, and what ghosts he is hiding behind the polished facade. The resort becomes both sanctuary and pressure cooker as Amelia struggles to hold on to her independence while being pulled deeper into Jude’s orbit.
The Surrender continues their story after a brutal betrayal, forcing Amelia to decide whether she can trust Jude again when ex-lovers, old secrets, and dangerous power games crash back into their lives.
The tone is high-heat contemporary romance with a strong thread of suspense: grand gestures in candlelit treatment rooms, sharp arguments in boardrooms, and constant questions about how much control any one person should have over another. If you enjoy obsessive heroes, glamorous settings, and heroines who insist on answers, Arlington Hall delivers that mix.
