The accidents are not a matter of chance. They are deliberate. As English gentleman William Kensley becomes aware of the danger at Rosenleigh Manor, he pleads for the truth of his past from the only man he can trust—until that man is murdered.
As the secrets unfold into scandal, William’s world is tipped into destitution, leaving him penniless and alone. His only comfort is in the constant friendship and love of Isabella Gresham. If he does not have their nonsense at the seashore, their laughter, their reckless adventures, has he anything at all?
He should have known that would be ripped from him too. When a hidden foe arises from their acquaintances and imperils Isabella’s life, William may be the only one willing to risk his life to rescue her. But even if he frees Isabella from her captors, will he still have to forsake her heart?
Some sacrifice everything for love. Others sacrifice love for everything else. In this haunting tale of rigid social prejudices and heart-aching regrets, the greatest decision of their life will be determined in the garden of the midnights.
My thoughts:
Ms. Linder is a new to me author
so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My expectations
were exceeded in this beautifully written novel. My heart was broken for
William, his was such a sad story, I desperately wanted him to have a peaceful
life filled with love and belonging.
Isabelle is another character
I found myself rooting for. I appreciated
how the author pulled me into the characters’ lives making me genuinely concerned
for their happiness and well-being. I know that I will read more of her work and
urge other readers to do the same.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary
copy of this book. Opinions are my own.
