In 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England. Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known.

No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He has his own problems—a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible.

Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts. Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies—and those who pretend friendship may be enemies.

I got this book because I heard that it was very good but I didn't have High hopes as I am not a fan of historical romances. I was pleasantly surprised to find an intriguing and engaging storyline with characters that I really came to love and hate. at times the characters were very frustrating but we're very. appropriate. the ending is uplifting

A real surprise

I love this book for many reasons but mostly because I never could quite guess what was going to happen. The narrator was literally perfect- the breathing into talking was so unique and made the characters feel real. So much attention to detail- reminds me so much of outlander but it’s clean and edifying 👍 If you like historical fiction, this is a clear winner in my book.

One of my favorite listens ever
