Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tour Presents….
Lady of a Thousand
Treasures
By Sandra Byrd
Miss
Eleanor Sheffield is a talented evaluator of antiquities, trained to know the
difference between a genuine artifact and a fraud. But with her father’s
passing and her uncle’s decline into dementia, the family business is at risk.
In the Victorian era, unmarried Eleanor cannot run Sheffield Brothers alone.
The
death of a longtime client, Baron Lydney, offers an unexpected complication
when Eleanor is appointed the temporary trustee of the baron’s legendary
collection. She must choose whether to donate the priceless treasures to a
museum or allow them to pass to the baron’s only living son, Harry—the man who
broke Eleanor’s heart.
Eleanor
distrusts the baron’s motives and her own ability to be unbiased regarding
Harry’s future. Harry claims to still love her and Eleanor yearns to believe
him, but his mysterious comments and actions fuel her doubts. When she learns
an Italian beauty accompanied him on his return to England, her lingering hope
for a future with Harry dims.
With
the threat of debtor’s prison closing in, Eleanor knows that donating the
baron’s collection would win her favor among potential clients, saving
Sheffield Brothers. But the more time she spends with Harry, the more her faith
in him grows. Might Harry be worthy of his inheritance, and her heart, after
all? As pressures mount and time runs out, Eleanor must decide whom she can
trust—who in her life is false or true, brass or gold—and what is meant to be
treasured.

of a Thousand Treasures delivers mystery, romance, and suspense in a well-researched
