"A wounded hero and bold heroine who defy the conventions of society...Readers will enjoy their visit to Thornbrook Park." —RT Book Reviews

A lady's maid finds forbidden love in the halls of England's grandest estates in this romance for fans of Downton Abbey

Disowned for marrying beneath her, Eve Kendal has returned to England destitute after her husband's death and the mysterious disappearance of their savings. She's looking for survival, not romance. But from London to the Yorkshire countryside to the elegant estate of Thornbrook Park, Eve's path seems destined to cross that of the dashing but violent Captain Marcus Thorne.

For Marcus, a return home means facing the demons that drove him to war in the first place. As he and Eve begin a steamy affair, tensions that had been simmering just beneath the surface threaten to explode and shake the very foundations of Thornbrook Park.

      Browning (Once Wicked) kicks off a series with this charming but somewhat overbusy period piece set in 1906 England. Still recovering from her husband’s untimely death, Eve Kendal returns to London. Short on funds, disowned by her family, Eve finds temporary refuge at Thornbrook Park, home to her old friend Sophia, Lady Averford. While there, she makes the acquaintance of Capt. Marcus Thorne, whose wartime traumas have left him subject to intense rages that he relieves in the boxing ring. His brother, Sophia’s husband, already has a bride picked out for Marcus, but Eve and Marcus start making plans of their own, as mutual admiration quickly turns to affection and desire. When their affair becomes public knowledge, they must decide between familial duty and impractical love. Meanwhile, Eve investigates the fate of her late husband’s mysteriously missing money, which exposes her to a murderous plot. The leads have a sweet, natural chemistry that renders most of the obligatory romantic speed bumps irrelevant; the secondary story line is far more dynamic. Agent: Stephany Evans, FinePrint Literary Management.
