As Olivia and Lord Bradley's secrets catch up with them, will their hidden pasts ruin their hope of finding love?

Ratings and reviews

The true test of a perfect novel for myself is how much I struggle to put it down. Passed exceptionally well! Author triggers every emotion which connects reader to characters. Well done!

Easy read, predictable plot. The fairytale ending was a little overdone. Kept me engaged mostly but I wish it had a little more zing.

Oh my goodness! I blew through this book. So good. I love the main characters. I love the storyline. I adore the setting, and wish I could visit (if it were real!). I highly enjoyed this novel.
