Review Bestselling and award winning historical novelist author Sarah E. Ladd has done it again. This story of Camille Iverness, Jonathan Gilchrist, and the Bevoy is full of adventure, intrigue, mystery, and romance. Her best story written thus far, Sarah pulls readers into the novel from page one, causing readers to spend hours reading the story to see what happens next. I would highly recommend this novel to all readers of historical fiction that love a bit of mystery and romance on the side.
