Hannah Sheppard yearns for more than the stifling expectations of Regency society. Duty, and her mother, demand she marry a man of wealth and status. Then, she meets John.
John Ingham dreams of a life beyond the harsh realities of working in a mill. When he rescues a lady from the lake at Frogmere Manor, he never expects their paths to cross again.
But fate has other plans, entwining their lives through a mysterious family heirloom that unlocks a long-kept secret. But a ruthless enemy lurks in the shadows, willing to silence them forever to keep the past buried.
Can their bond withstand the weight of a legacy built on lies, or will the cost of unravelling the truth be too high to pay?
A captivating sweet Regency romance set amongst the cotton mills of Lancashire in 1815 and filled with heart-stopping twists, memorable characters, and a love that dares to defy the rules.
"The romance is gentle, and the connection between Hannah and John is tangible. Seeing their story unfold is sweet, but it’s the mystery the two have to unravel that had me unable to place the book down. Each string of the mystery is well done and takes both the reader and the couple onto the next in a captivating manner." - Bee, Goodreads Review.
"Oh my this one had so many twist that I couldn't believe it!!! I did not see it coming at all! Once you thought you heard the end of it. BAM another one! It kept you in your toes and I love it!!" - Sarah Bennett, Goodreads Review.
