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 Review
This was such a great read, loved the way the author's mind works, surprises abound!
There is a lot of jealousy here, greed, and outright hate! What a tale and quick thinking of an evil intent person, and yet someone who was guilty could have come to the aid of an innocent child.
There is a lot of action, and sure did keep my attention, and beware some people are not what they are pretending to be.
We are also given a bit of sweet romance, but can anything come from it.
I also love that there was an epilogue!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
