Brook Eden has never known where she truly belongs. When her friend Justin uncovers the fact that she is possibly a missing heiress from Yorkshire, Brook leaves the sun of the Mediterranean to travel to the moors of the North Sea and the estate of her supposed family.
The mystery of her mother’s death haunts her, and though her father is quick to accept her, the rest of the family and the servants of Whitby Park are not. Only when Brook’s life is threatened do they draw close—but will their loyalty come too late to save Brook from the same threat that led to tragedy for her mother?
As heir to a dukedom, Justin is no stranger to balancing responsibilities. When the matters of his estate force him far from Brook, the distance between them reveals that their friendship has grown into something much more. But how can their very different loyalties and responsibilities ever come together?
And then for a second time, the heiress of Whitby Park is stolen away because of the very rare treasure in her possession—and those who can save her still aren’t sure whom to trust

About Roseanna M. White
Roseanna M. White pens her novels beneath her Betsy Ross flag, with her Jane Austen action figure watching over her. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two children, editing and designing, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels and novellas, ranging from biblical fiction to American-set romances to her new British series. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to make their way into her novels…to offset her real life, which is blessedly boring.
Being educated at St. John’s Collete (the Great Books School) taught Roseanna to ask questions, to value conversation, and to never accept the simple answer without exploring it for herself. She and her family make their home in the mountains of West Virginia where she and her husband both grew up. Roseanna is a member of ACFW, a frequent speaker at writers events and also small groups of readers, and an unabashed email addict.
Happy Friday!
My FLF comes from a book I will be starting later this weekend, Love’s Journey in SugarCreek by Sienna Miller.
The leather on Rachel Troyer’s gun holster creaked as she shifted her weight on the kitchen chair. Her three elderly Amish aunts shot wary glances toward the offending weapon.
Have a great weekend and Happy Reading!??
Oh my goodness that sounds like a fun read!!
That’s a good one!
Mine’s from Eka Kurniawan’s “Beauty is a Wound” :
“One afternoon on a weekend in March, Dewi Ayu rose from her grave after being dead for twenty-one years.”
Very I interesting….how’s the story?? Or have you not read it yet 🙂
I’m currently reading it. The writing has an unusual style, and it can be very dark. I will say it’s probably not for everyone, but I’m enjoying it. The whole story is a metaphor, essentially. It’s about the volatile history of Indonesia wrapped within a sort of myth. Fascinating, I think.
