1688: Beth Ambrose has led a sheltered life within Merryfields, her family home on the outskirts of London; a place where her parents provide a sanctuary for melancholic souls.
A passionate and gifted artist, Beth shares a close bond with Johannes the painter, who nurtures her talents and takes her on as his apprentice.
But as political tensions begin to rise in the capital, Noah Leyton arrives at her family home in the middle of the night with a proposition that turns Beth's world upside down. And when Merryfields becomes refuge to a mysterious new guest, whose connections provide an opportunity for Beth to fulfill her artistic ambitions, it soon becomes clear that it comes at a price....

Even though I was able to push through the above, what I got caught up on is that Beth’s love interest is her FIRST cousin. FIRST - she could have married Kit for the same result. I get that it’s set in the 1680s when this was acceptable, but it was so hard for me to get past this point when there were so many other characters (too many) to play the part.
I also got frustrated with the author’s use of terms that were way out of period in the dialogue (like when Arabella uses the term “rabble rousers” to describe the opposition causing chaos in England...and that term wasn’t even documented until the 1800s). If you’re going to write historical fiction, to the point of being accurate enough to include incest amongst the main characters, at least do your research on the terms and language being used in the book.
Ugh...so much whining & incest...
