This title is part of the hoopla BONUS BORROWS COLLECTION! Through the month of August, you can borrow this title without using any of your monthly hoopla Instant Borrows! She can only stay as long as the invalid needs her... so he makes it his business to need her forever. When a cryptic invitation brings Giulia Pepper to her uncle's remote estate in Devon, she arrives in dire need of a benefactor, only to discover that her uncle never sent her any invitation-nor does he want her there. Forced into a corner, Giulia must contrive a way to convince him to allow her to remain, just long enough to figure out where to go next. Nicholas never asked for an earldom, but when an aged lord arrives at his door and tells Nicholas that he is next in line for the title, he willingly goes to Halstead Manor to learn the role. But someone isn't pleased with the heir, and after a gunshot wound in the arm, Nicholas must discover who is out to get him. When Giulia stumbles-literally-over a fallen man on the lane to Halstead, she has her answer: she can stay at Halstead and nurse her uncle's heir back to health. But as mystery builds and danger mounts, will Giulia and Nicholas be able to solve the puzzle before the Earl forces Giulia to leave for good? And furthermore, can they manage to work together without losing their hearts in the process? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

With danger at every turn and an uncle who is less than hospitable, this is a slightly gothic tale with a puzzle to solve. It is an eloquent story with well drawn characters and a setting of an ancient castle with secret passageways. My kind of historical fiction. I give it 5 stars for an absorbing clean read.
