About A Lady at Willowgrove Hall:

Her secret cloaks her in isolation and loneliness.

His secret traps him in a life that is not his own.

Cecily Faire carries the shame of her past wherever she treads, knowing one slip of the tongue could strip away everything she holds dear. But soon after accepting the position of lady's companion at Willowgrove Hall, Cecily finds herself face-to-face with a man well-acquainted with the past she's desperately hidden for years.

Nathaniel Stanton has a secret of his own --- one that has haunted him from birth and tied him to his father's position as steward of Willowgrove. To protect his family, Nathaniel dares not breath a word of the truth. But as long as the shadow looms over him, he'll never be free to find his own way in the world. He'll never be free to fall in love.

When the secrets swirling within Willowgrove Hall come to light, Cecily and Nathaniel must confront a painful choice: Will they continue running from the past . . . or will they stand together and build a future without the suffocating weight of secrets long suffered?

My thoughts:

I love historical fiction and learning about how people lived then. It is different to see how family secrets could destroy innocent lives back in that era, whereas those kinds of secrets are so commonplace now that they don't affect people the way they did then. I really enjoyed the description of the garden and would love to see one like it. I like how in the end all the characters were set free and could now live their lives free from secrets and free from lonliness. This is the second novel I was able to read from this series of three. I really hope there will be more. Purchase a copy here, a Kindle copy from Amazon here, or all three books of the series here.
