1906
Lady Elizabeth "Libby" Sinclair, with her love of
microscopes and nature, isn't favored in society. She flees to the
beautiful Isles of Scilly for the summer and stumbles into the dangerous
secrets left behind by her holiday cottage's former occupant, also
named Elizabeth, who mysteriously vanished.
Oliver
Tremayne--gentleman and clergyman--is determined to discover what
happened to his sister, and he's happy to accept the help of the girl
now living in what should have been Beth's summer cottage . . .
especially when he realizes it's the curious young lady he met briefly
two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology. But the hunt
for his sister involves far more than nature walks, and he can't quite
believe all the secrets Beth had been keeping from him.
As Libby
and Oliver work together, they find ancient legends, pirate wrecks,
betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.

My Review
This is one of my favorite authors and this read sure does not
disappoint. Quaint island cottages, pirates, treasure, and a free summer
before her life is supposed to change forever. This is the freedom that
Lady Elizabeth "Libby" Sinclair is offered and approved of by her
mother, and the suggestion comes from her maid Mabena Moon [love the
name], and we find out why. What an ideal place for this young woman who
loves nothing better than to study the fauna in this subtropical
climate.
We are given a bit of everything here, including a Love
of God, and a love of family, along with danger, and a bit of romance
thrown in.
In the end, I loved the decisions made and how things worked out, and now I can't wait to return!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
