Miss Mariah Aubrey, banished after a scandal, hides herself away in a long-abandoned gatehouse on the far edge of a distant relative's estate. There, she supports herself and her loyal servant the only way she knows how--by writing novels in secret.

Captain Matthew Bryant, returning to England successful and wealthy after the Napoleonic wars, leases an impressive estate from a cash-poor nobleman, determined to show the society beauty who once rejected him what a colossal mistake she made. When he discovers an old gatehouse on the property, he is immediately intrigued by its striking young inhabitant and sets out to uncover her identity, and her past. But the more he learns about her, the more he realizes he must distance himself. Falling in love with an outcast would ruin his well-laid plans.

The old gatehouse holds secrets of its own. Can Mariah and Captain Bryant uncover them before the cunning heir to the estate buries them forever?

In the story, Mariah Aubrey stumbles into disgrace and, as a result, is harshly rejected by her autocratic father. He banishes his heartbroken daughter from their homewith only a brief good-bye for her mother and sisterand hides her away in a relatives gatehouse. It is there, in a quiet corner of a country

I really liked that there was both aspects of mystery (and multiple minor mysteries at that!) and romance woven through this book. I figured out some things before the characters did, but others were definitely surprising twists! I also really appreciated that many people (especially Dixon and Miss Amy) were pointing Mariah to God's grace and forgiveness, and that she was able to find redemption in Him finally (though I wish that thread had been a bit more of a factor in the book as opposed to

What a fun historical romance! I enjoyed this one.

This regency romance was better written and more interesting than your average free regency romance and much better edited.
