Product Information

Flurries of snow fall on the cobbled streets of Whitechapel and an abandoned baby, swaddled in a blanket, is found on a doorstep in Angel Lane . This is a great story - my only reservation would be that the reader should have read the previous two books in this series to make complete sense of all the plots. Unfortunately, Nancy is kidnapped by a gang of street urchins who believe her to be a lady of means and therefore a way ti feed themselves.

The book was pure escapism and if you love the classics like Pride and Prejudice or Jamaica Inn then you will love this story. And with the family's future under threat at Rockwood Castle, and secrets tumbling out of the shadows, she faces a difficult choice.

But having said that, this one does have a touch of Lindsey Hutchinson to it which will enthrall those fans, I'm sure. Alone, barefoot, beaten down and at the mercy of her cruel uncle, Eliza realises that her very survival is at stake. But then Lord Dorrington did request that they not see each other for the entire year Nancy made a success of becoming mistress of Greystone Park. But circumstances compel her to flee with no references and only a few personal possessions to her name. Until the day comes when the dashing Piers Blanchard appears on their doorstep from Cornwall, claiming he is Rosalind’s distant cousin and that Rockwood Castle is his.

This author is amazing I've read every book she has written im so glad my friend told me about her this one was quite lovely and romantic.These books are not doing anything new but you know what you’re getting into when you give them a go.

Rosalind Carey lives along side her siblings at Rockwood Castle and are only a step away from loosing everything, and Piers Blanchland steps in to say he can save them all but can he be trusted. But instead of reporting them to the police, she takes them in, clothes them,, feeds them and pays for their passage back to Devonshire with her where she will become their guardian and hopefully give them the start in life she was lucky enough to be given by Rosalind Blanchard when she was a child. Dilly Court is best known for her dramatic family sagas of domestic-romance fiction, but has also written several standalone novels in the same genre. Leaving her mother and younger brother and sister behind, Stella goes to a big country house outside London. The storyline is believable and true to the era it's written in, the characters are well developed and I just loved Rosalind's grandfather, I can't wait to find out happens next.Dilly Court grew up in North-east London and began her career in television, writing scripts for commercials. When Hetty Huggins made a promise to her dying mother that she would look after her younger sister and brothers, little did she know how difficult this would be. The title and the blurb alluded to there being romance in the book, however there was absolutely none and the bit of ‘romance’ at the end was rushed and not very satisfying. She also understood that he was heir to a vast estate and viscountcy and that he had responsibilities that would become his in the place of his father when the time came.

However, I did enjoy it and it was easy to read, but again, it’s the rest of the family I enjoy reading about. Although she is the legal owner of Greystone Park she had no intention of living there but if she wishes to marry Freddie then she must agree to Lord Dorrington's condition. Rosalind is determined to protect her family home, Rookwood Castle even when it seems she and her siblings have lost everything. As a chambermaid at one of London’s busiest inns, condemned to a life of drudgery and at the mercy of a vicious landlady, L. Family secrets, an intriguing stranger and sinister smugglers add to the rich tapestry of this story which has vibrant characters that resonate with a twisty plot that keeps you reading.Don’t forget to sign up for my new dedicated newsletter to receive exclusive extracts and competitions…as well updates on my new books!
