Beschreibung des Verlags
It’s been three years since Jame’s father, Viscount Winston Lynton, died mysteriously in a carriage accident in Vienna, his fob watch and signet ring missing from his body. When Caleb and Sir William recover the watch, returning it to Lady Emily, questions arise surrounding the accident, especially when Lord Marcus Stone, a fellow antiquities collector, unexpectedly comes to Surrey asking questions about the watch.
Meanwhile, James and Susan have finally been given permission to marry, but when tragedy strikes Lady Emily, Susan’s stubborn vigil by her bedside creates more discord between the couple. And, when Susan is struck down by an outbreak of Scarlatina at Hollingsworth Manor, James fears for her very life. With no antibiotics, he worries the disease will prove fatal.
Will Susan recover, and will James and Susan finally marry? Or will another obstacle bar their path to happiness when the Duchess of Bradford, Susanna’s mother, who is opposed to the match, returns to Surrey unexpectedly?
Will the necklace work its magic to keep them together forever?
