The Shuttle
American heiress Rosalie Vanderpoel marries impoverished English aristocrat Sir Nigel Anstruthers and is gradually isolated from her wealthy family at his crumbling estate. Years of silence prompt Rosalie's younger sister Bettina to cross the Atlantic and discover the abuse, neglect, and financial manipulation hidden at Stornham Court. Bettina begins restoring her sister, nephew, estate, and surrounding community while forming a wary bond with proud neighboring landowner Lord Mount Dunstan. Expansive and satisfying, this novel suits readers who enjoy transatlantic society, estate restoration, formidable heroines, and rescue accomplished through money, competence, and steadfast affection.
