A docile wife is what he wants. A husband is the last thing she needs. Can a quest for a killer teach them that they are both wrong?
Emma Smythe and her brother arrive at Easterby Hall to discover that a handsome stranger has laid claim to their ancestral home and the family title. Have her relatives been murdered, and is her brother next? Determined to find the answers, she has no option but to trust the gentleman who insists that he will help. But danger appears in many guises, and for a woman intent on remaining single, her intriguing protector may prove the biggest threat of all.
The attempts on Richard Lacey’s life begin when he inherits a title and a rundown estate. A coincidence? He’s not so sure. Problems multiply with the unexpected arrival of Jamie and Emma Smythe. Long thought dead, they too are potential targets. Richard thinks he wants a docile, obedient wife, but will the task of keeping headstrong Emma safe from danger change his mind?
Embroiled in a sinister mystery, can Richard and Emma work together to catch a killer? And will this dangerous quest teach them that what they both wish to avoid is exactly what they need?

DeleteCongratulations on your book, Penny. If I may ask, what inspired you to write about this era of history? And why romance?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jamie. As a historian, I find the Regency period very interesting, as there was so much change taking place in the fields of employment, science, and technology. I also love Jane Austen's novels. I wanted to write uplifting, escapist stories, so what better than romance?
DeleteThank you for answering my question! I find Austen's novels rather long, but I don't mind watching the movies. I will add your series to my to-read list.
