Secrets of a Baron's Daughter - by Teah Kemp Weight (Paperback)

About the Book

Sometimes a shared affinity for gothic novels combined with a few secrets is all you need to find love... or uncover a conspiracy.

Book Synopsis

Miss Emma Hensworth has a secret- actually several secrets. Secrets, that if known, could alter the fates of everyone she loves. Secrets that have kept most of Society out of Engalworth Court for the past four months. But when a handsome gentleman is brought to her door badly injured and unconscious, her tender heart cannot help but offer her home as a haven for his recovery.

Anthony James Kempton, Viscount Hamdon, heir to the Earl of Licolnhurst, has lived his life in the lap of luxury. A luxury he hates. Son of an overindulged manipulative mother, and a self-centered philandering father, Anthony does not see love anywhere in his future.

His life takes a turn when he wakes up in pain, tied to a bed in a strange house. Now, restricted to bed for a month and unable to travel for almost two, he turns to his favorite kind of book, gothic novels, to fend off the relentless boredom. But when the life of his beautiful and mysterious hostess starts to resemble that of a gothic novel, Anthony has to decide what is real and what are the imaginations of a restless mind. And he will need to do so before the evil villain catches up with the intrepid heroine, but will she let him be her hero?
