LETTER FROM BRIARTON PARK

"The swoon-worthy romance of Jane Austen meets the suspense of Charlotte Brontë." - Joy Callaway. In Regency England, one letter will alter a young woman's fate when it summons her to Briarton Park, an ancient place that holds the secrets of her past and the keys to her future. Cassandra Hale grew up knowing little about her parentage, but her world shifts when a shocking deathbed confession reveals a two year old letter from Mr. Clark, the master of Briarton Park, which hints about her family's identity. Stung by betrayal, Cassandra travels to the village of Anston only to learn that Mr. Clark has passed away. James Warrington is a widower and the new master of Briarton Park, where he lives with his two young daughters, his sister and his mother-in-law. When Cassandra appears at his doorstep with a letter from the previous owner, and then proceeds to assist his family in an unexpected way, he is honour-bound to help uncover the answers she seeks. The more time Cassandra spends in Anston, the more she begins to suspect not everything, or everyone, is as they seem. The danger surrounding her intensifies and she must use her wit and intuition to navigate the treacherous landscapes between reality and rumour, loyalty and deception if she is to find the place her heart can finally call home. The first in the Houses of Yorkshire series. 326pp, paperback.
