Miss Katherine Lockhart is a woman of sense and reason. She has managed her brother’s household in an efficient manner for years. When he marries she finds her position in his household increasingly untenable and is sent to Helagon, his property in Cornwall. She finds a derelict house, an untamed landscape, and a man with a wild past.
Harry, Viscount Treleven has a zest for life and an irrepressible sense of humour. But when he returns home after five years in exile, eager to take up the threads of his old life, he finds they have been slowly unravelling in his absence.
When Miss Lockhart stumbles into his orbit their lives become entangled in ways he had never imagined.

About the author

I live by the sea in Plymouth, England, with my partner Dave. I like reading, sailing, and exploring in our camper van. I love getting up early to watch the sunrise in summer, and long quiet evenings by the wood burner in our cabin on the cliffs in Cornwall in winter.
I write traditional Regency romance novels that respect the mores of the era. I like to think my characters, though flawed, are likeable, strong, and true to the period.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024I very much enjoyed this book!
Well written with a very intriguing plot.
A bit of mystery and suspense amidst a beautiful Cornwall setting.
I liked both Henry and Katherine and enjoyed how they came together.
Clean romance - thank you very much!
Really good supporting characters too!
I like how some of the characters from previous books in this series are part of this one.
I highly recommend this book - as well as the first 2 in this series.
Each book is easily a stand alone novel, but I think it would be good to read them in order - but only so that you know some of the history behind some of the other characters.
I am on to a different series of hers now!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024Enjoy this author's books. Has a nice style of writing with a host of interesting side characters. Usually 5 star rating. This one loses a point because I just didn't like the hero much. Also, they were apart most of the story and I just couldn't feel their romance. Will he stay faithful to her? The mystery was good though and I liked the hero's sister and her backstory.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024This was such an enjoyable story. The characters were so believable, and the plot was always interesting. The ending was perfect.

Then Richard brings home his bride an though Katherine does her best to step back from her roll, her new sister-in-law finds all her efforts lacking. Richard realizes that a peaceful home means finding a new place for Katherine to live. Sent to his new holding in Cornwall, Katherine finds it far from needing updates.

While seeking to find recommendations for a reliable builder, she seeks out Lady Trevelen's assistance, finding her son injured on the drive up to their manor house. Helping bind his wounded arm, she's greeted by his mother with the gratitude of someone who's just saved her son from further harm.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2023At the beginning I found this a little slow, once I got into the rhythm of the book , it became enjoyable, I would of liked some more information about Harry what was his trip from Europe and America . Why did he have Malaria. I loved the ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read
I would like to recommend this series of books by Jenny Hambly. The stories have good strong characters and the plots are interesting and attention grabbing. This book appears to be well researched and shows a view of the Regency era that is not only about balls, dresses and promenades in Hyde Park.

5.0 out of 5 stars well written
The authors writing charms and draws the readers Imagination with believable dialogue I.e. not stilted or overly formal - realistic.
The characters are engaging and the storyline, although fairly predictable, was entertaining. A lovely easy read.
- Monique HarpigniesReviewed in Italy on December 28, 2019
4.0 out of 5 stars Charming plot, good cast, sure ground but halting footwork; just a tad more passion would have benn welcome.
Catherine is no Diamond but a lithely handsome level-headed spinster in her late twenties, who must move on from housekeeping for her scholarly borther when he weds.
Charged with renovating a moldering country property she is befriended by the neighboring widow, whose prodigal son of rakish fame is recently returned to claim his title and offer his mother and shy, young sister his overdue protection.
A most enjoyable read, with many insightful and amusing episodes, but a bit tame.
- MFReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2021
4.0 out of 5 stars A very proper Regency romance
Katherine is ‘managing (i.e. capable ) and sensible ,Harry is lively and charming. Neither is looking for those qualities in a partner but ....
Well written , a mix of characters and with a dash of shipwrecking drama amidst the developing romance, this was an enjoyable relaxing read
