A Lady at Willowgrove Hall
Whispers on the Moors series
By Sarah Ladd

SYNOPSIS

Her secret cloaks her in isolation and loneliness.
His secret traps him in a life that is not his own.
Cecily Faire carries the shame of her past wherever she treads, knowing one slip of the tongue could strip away everything she holds dear. But soon after accepting the position of lady’s companion at Willowgrove Hall, Cecily finds herself face-to-face with a man well-acquainted with the past she’s desperately hidden for years.
Nathaniel Stanton has a secret of his own – one that has haunted him from birth and tied him to his father’s position as steward of Willowgrove. To protect his family, Nathaniel dares not breath a word of the truth. But as long as the shadow looms over him, he’ll never be free to find his own way in the world. He’ll never be free to fall in love.
When the secrets swirling within Willowgrove Hall come to light, Cecily and Nathaniel must confront a painful choice: Will they continue running from the past . . . or will they stand together and build a future without the suffocating weight of secrets long suffered?

My Thoughts

I’m absolutely in love with this story. The descriptive writing pulls you into the lives of Cecily and Nathaniel. Their secrets play a major role in their lives and threaten everything. I enjoyed the plot twists and turns of this story.

I loved the setting of this story. The Moors in the 1800s is such a fantastic setting for a story swirled with secrets. This is a book in a series but was fantastic as a stand alone work. I am definitely looking for the earlier stories in this series. I truly enjoyed Sarah Ladd’s writing style and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
