Eleanor is horrified to be made homeless by her brother’s gambling debts and still more disturbed to find herself falling in love with the man who won the estate.  Valerie Holmes resolves this dilemma in a spirited tale that keeps you turning the pages until the final “Ah!” of satisfaction.”  GL Robinson, New York

 

“I have known Valerie for over fifteen years and thoroughly enjoy her lovely stories! You’ll be in safe hands with her to guide you!” Christina Courtenay – award winning historical novelist.
