She wants a new life.
He’s in danger of losing his.
Will love solve everything — or immerse them in
even worse peril?
Restless and ready for a change, Grace Stratton
gladly accepts the opportunity to leave her remote parsonage home to serve as a
wealthy spinster’s companion in the idyllic country town of Lindenfell. Its
warm atmosphere and friendly inhabitants sooth Grace’s lonely heart. But when a
mysterious stranger arrives, she soon discovers things aren’t always what they
seem.
Convinced chloroform will revolutionise the
medical world, Dr. David Carbury frequently administers it to his London
patients — until one of them dies. Facing a grave trial to prove his innocence
and defend a drug most people view as poisonous, he makes hasty plans to buy
time to bolster his case. But he wasn’t expecting to face an even deadlier
challenge.
As attraction sparks not long after they meet,
Grace soon suspects he’s hiding something, and David knows he can’t run from
the truth forever.
But neither of them could imagine the sinister
threat lurking just around the corner…
Immersed in faith and intrigue, this
Christian Victorian romance from award-winning author Edwina Kiernan will
encourage and delight you long after you turn the last page.
BOOK EXCERPT
Grace jutted her jaw outwards. “It
simply maddens me, that is all. Treating you as though you are some dangerous,
out-of-the-ordinary spectacle. Have they not read their Bibles? Are they
unaware that sin has tainted everyone’s
life — including their own?”
“Hush, now...” her mother said
gently, compassion shining in her dark eyes that looked so much like Grace’s
own. “I suppose my story is out-of-the-ordinary as far as most people are
concerned. But there is no profit in allowing anyone to judge us or intimidate
us concerning it. Leave them, and their opinions, to God. There is much we can
focus on that is far more beneficial for everyone.”
Her mother’s wise words soothed
Grace’s heart, much as they always did. But she still struggled to shake off
the melancholy that had seemed to be a permanent fixture in her heart these
past few months.
A restless rumination seemed to
occupy her days more and more of late. Secretly, she often imagined going
somewhere new, a place where no one knew her — or the scandalous circumstances
that had brought her parents together. A place where she could be her own
person, and not merely the daughter of a former prostitute and the man who had
rescued her from a life of vice.
Her father greeted them both with a
grin. “Shall we go?”
Grace looked around, surprised to see that they were the only people left in the little church.
