Publisher Description
Tressa Harlowe's father did not trust banks, but neither did he trust his greedy extended family. He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it. Tressa and her ailing mother are left with a mansion and an immense vineyard and no money to run it. It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager to keep the laborers content without pay and discover the key to finding her father's fortune--before someone else finds it first.
Award-winning author Joanna Davidson Politano welcomes readers to Trevelyan Castle, home of the poorest heiress in Victorian England, for a treasure hunt they'll not soon forget.

A Spiritually Intriguing Story
Cast against the legend of a family fortune, Tressa Harlowe , though penniless, must unravel the mystery of the death of her father and attempt to bring to rights the truth of his character and reputation.
Within the atmosphere of a classic gothic tale, Politano wields a story that explores father/daughter relationships and lessons gained from the vineyard and the vine dresser. Politano’s lyrical writing once again captivates this reader.
I enjoyed Sarah Nichols’ narration of this tale. Her depiction of the characters was distinct and the voices fit the characters well. She truly held me spellbound within the storyline. A narrator I will seek out again.
I enjoyed this book so much that I purchased the ebook, print book and audiobook.
