In this funny romantic series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it...
When Faith Shackleford found herself in the unenviable position of having to accompany her irascible father to convalesce in the genteel seaside town of Torquay, she envisioned three months of wearying monotony,
She certainly wasn't expecting to be intrigued by the forlorn empty house situated next to their own elegant villa, especially when she discovered it belonged to a handsome captain in the Royal Navy who was currently away at sea.
Unfortunately, she never imagined that fascination might cost her her life.
Roan Carew grew up an orphan on the streets of Torquay, until he was press ganged into the Royal Navy at eleven. Through a combination of determination, shrewdness and sheer bloody mindedness he rose to the rank of Captain, but he was certainly no gentleman nor ever would be. Indeed, his purchase of Redstone House, a rundown mansion in Torquay's wealthiest district was more of an impulse than an aspiration towards respectability.
He most certainly did not expect the house to come with a thirty-year-old secret that someone was prepared to commit murder to protect.
Naturally Reverend Shackleford, who it was generally agreed would be 'in if he fell in,' simply had to investigate...
Perfect for fans of funny, lighthearted Regency Romances with a little bit of steam.
