Customer Reviews
Winning start to a new series
Four and a half stars
Sophie Gilbert lives with her aunt in a fire hazard of a cottage in Whittleston-on-the-Water. When the new lord of the manor moves in, the village is abuzz and frankly, terrified that he intends to sell the whole lot and evict them all, leaving them all homeless and destitute.
Captain Rafe Peel never expected to inherit. He’s worked his whole life to care for and protect his family. He’s no desire for the encumbrances or responsibilities of his new title and property.
Sophie and Rafe clash in an epic battle of smartly determined military minds, with each vowing and vying to protect what is nearest and dearest to them. It is a pleasure to see Virginia Heath’s characters fight for their hearts and their futures. A full complement of supporting cast round out the plot well. A winning start to a terrific new series.
