Posh: Book One of the Templeton Family Chronicles

You are invited to the social event of the year. An invitation to Steeplechase Weekend at Templeton Manor means you have arrived. You are an influencer. You don’t follow trends. You set them. You are the standard for what people want and who people want to be. You are not of the people. You are above the people. You are posh.

Meet the Templetons - one of England’s most illustrious dynasties - gathered together at their Dorset estate for a weekend of horse-racing, familial one- upmanship, and unabashed poshness. But this year, all is not what it seems. Lord Carleton, the esteemed patriarch, is on his deathbed. His new wife, Lady Eliza Brookings, is hell-bent on dragging the family into the 21st century with the help of the formidable ex-nun (and ex-con) Sister Francine. There’s five hundred thousand in mixed currencies stolen from some very shady Russians, a succession battle looming, and a mysterious and dangerously beautiful woman named Svetlana Slutskaya on the march with her army of Death Angels, intent on overthrowing the patriarchy and establishing a new world order.

Posh, Book One of The Templeton Family Chronicles, introduces readers to a world of power and privilege, where nothing is sacred, where alliances are made and destroyed based on who has the most to offer and who can afford the highest price tag.

There’s the way of the world. And then there’s the Templeton way.
