After the death of their father, life with her cruel and controlling brother Thomas becomes unbearable for Annabelle. Finding refuge at her Uncle Edmund Langsley's estate, she takes a tutoring position. Still grieving his wife's murder, gamekeeper Owen Locke has sworn never to love again—until he meets Annabelle. A sudden rash of poaching, a murder, and Thomas's arrival with a fiancé in tow for Annabelle forestall any future the two may have. As the story unfolds and the well-rounded, likeable protagonists play out their drama, the rising tension keeps readers in suspense.
VERDICT Ladd's third Regency outing (after Dawn at Emberwilde and The Curiosity Keeper) can easily stand on its own, but readers who enjoy this book will want to devour the trilogy.
