Book 2 of the Haven Manor series
396 pages · First published 2019
Daphne Blakemoor has spent twelve years contentedly hidden at Haven Manor, where a secluded household has allowed her to build a safe life far from the mistakes of her youth. That security is threatened when William, Marquis of Chemsford, inherits the estate and arrives hoping for a quiet country existence completely unlike the life his father led. Daphne’s position as housekeeper puts her constantly in the new owner’s path, while secrets connecting the manor to her past make discovery increasingly dangerous. Their growing affection forces two people accustomed to hiding from old wounds to decide whether honesty might offer a more secure future than secrecy.
