Revised reedited October 2020
When Cristobel Brooke’s father, jeweller to the rich and famous, is brutally murdered, Crista flees to her uncle’s small village close to Winchester, determined not to be pulled into the criminal activities that ended her father’s life. But the villains discover she makes jewellery just as well as her father did and pursue her, forcing her to fall in with their plans.
Lord Amos Sheridan, brother to the Duke of Winchester, is intrigued by Crista but becomes frustrated when she refuses to trust him with her secrets. Astounded when she becomes implicated in treasonous acts, Amos is determined to vindicate her. With the duke’s backing, Amos and Crista launch a daring scheme to expose villains prepared to resort to murder and blackmail in order to line their own pockets.
Crista finds herself falling a little more in love with Amos each time she meets him. But he’s a duke’s heir and she’s a nobody with a criminal past that would visit disgrace upon his entire family, so there can be no future for them, can there…

I’m a British author, brought up on the Isle of Wight and share my life with a handsome rescued Spanish Podenco called Markos.

I’ve had over one hundred books published, ranging from Regency romance, (my first love), to contemporary women’s fiction and marine crime mysteries.

When not writing I walk miles, make half-hearted attempts to retain flexibility by attending yoga classes, read other people’s tomes…oh, and I’m on a one woman mission to keep the wine trade profitable!

I only just discovered Ms. Soliman's books. The characters are rich, colourful and entertaining. A little spice, but not overly sexual. Just the way I like my recency romances. Thank you so much.

Wow !!
I can't believe this book has been out since Jan.and only has 4 reviews...what is up people ??
This story was really good it had the Ducal family of Winchester the story is about Amos and Christa
the characters are really fascinating ...Zack is the oldest brother and is the current Duke .. he has 3 other Brothers and 2 sisters
The Young Crista has come to live with her Uncle and is following in the Jewelery business that her Father taught her from the times she was able to sit upon his knee.. Sadly her Father was recently Murdered and because her Father was somehow being disgraced she decided to finish his work .. which then set the "Bad People" on her tails.. Once she met Lord Amos things began to change, He was drawn to her .the person causing her all the aggravation was Reece he was always after her to finish the work she was being coerced into and was always threatening her Uncle if she didn't finish but When Amos came in the shop with an idea to have some work done for his Mother... she was thrilled to do Honest work..
Then things began to move in a faster pace and we find the disaster about to expand ..(smiling)
remember the saying "all good things come to those who wait " well Lord Amos truly waited for the right woman for Him..
Absolutely a wonderful book in this readers opinion it is right up there with some of the bestest Authors...

I received this book as free read and review ... for an Honest review

The love between the hero and heroine is so lukewarm and very unconvincing . The story was interesting but the characters were disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A triumphant first book in series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2020

This is a brilliantly thought out first book in what promises to be a great series. The plot is full of emotion and suspense. The characters are wonderfully portrayed, and have the determination and strength to overcome their fears and obstacles. This is a great book that would be suitable for anybody who loves spicy historical romances that have a bit of mystery.

Liked the idea of a strong woman as well as a strong man and the crossover of social class boundaries, but not to an unrealisic level. Enjoyed the book and it had substance in it as well as romance. Would recommend
