Born with wit. Tried by loss. Armed with hope.
Will she have the strength to open her heart for a chance at true love?
Named for a Shakespearean heroine of wit and spirit, Beatrice Morton enjoys a childhood of freedom in the fields of Meadowbourne. But when shadows of loss strip away that once-happy world, her life becomes a landscape mapped entirely by the choices of others, and circumstances beyond her control. From childhood to the schoolroom, and straight to the drawing rooms of high society, she faces the challenges before her with fortitude.
As she stands at a critical crossroads under the watchful eyes of the elite, she fiercely guards her heart to protect her hard-earned independence. Faced with choices that will shape her entire future, Beatrice must decide if she will retreat into the comfort of the life she knows, or risk lowering her defences to allow another into her heart.
Henna Sindal’s debut novel is a sweeping Regency tale of love, friendship, and the home we never truly leave behind.
