The Curiosity Keeper

Series background & context
The Treasures of Surrey series gathers three Regency romances that circle around questions of value, both material and spiritual. Precious objects, dangerous secrets, and the quiet Fellsworth School connect the stories, while each book follows a new heroine learning what can and cannot be bought.
In The Curiosity Keeper, Camille Iverness works in her father’s curiosity shop on a rough London street, cataloging oddities and keeping the accounts while he disappears on business. When a priceless ruby called the Bevoy is stolen and the trail leads straight to their door, village apothecary and reluctant heir Jonathan Gilchrist arrives in search of the gem. The theft throws Camille into a world of country estates and hard choices, forcing both of them to decide how much truth they are willing to risk.
What begins as the hunt for a jewel quickly becomes a story about whose lives and futures are treated as expendable.
Dawn at Emberwilde follows Isabel Creston, who has spent years at Fellsworth School caring for her younger sister and hoping for a simple teaching post. News of previously unknown relatives brings her to Emberwilde, an estate edged by a shadowed forest and thick with rumors. Courting attention from two very different men, Isabel must untangle family motives, local legends, and her own hopes before she chooses a path forward.
The final book, A Stranger at Fellsworth, turns back to the school itself. After her father’s financial ruin and a broken engagement, Annabelle Thorley escapes a controlling brother and seeks refuge with an uncle who runs Fellsworth. There she trades silk gowns for a teacher’s plain clothing and meets gamekeeper Owen Locke, a widower determined to protect his young daughter and the woodland he patrols. Poachers, criminal schemes, and lingering grief push both characters to grow in courage.
Throughout Treasures of Surrey, romance unfolds alongside gentle suspense and a steady emphasis on integrity. Whether the threat comes from thieves, smugglers, or social pressure, the heart of the series lies in characters who learn to see themselves, and others, as far more valuable than any artifact they might chase.
