Lord Somerton's Heir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780975640791)

Sebastian Alder's sudden elevation from penniless army captain to Viscount Somerton is the stuff of fairy tales, but there are dark secrets to be uncovered and an unexpected second chance at love...

From the smoke-filled chaos of Waterloo to the elegant halls of Brantstone Hall, Captain Sebastian Alder finds his world transformed overnight when he inherits the Somerton viscountcy.

Yet his fairy tale elevation masks a grim reality-crumbling estates, mounting debts, and the disturbing questions surrounding his cousin's untimely demise. With a killer potentially still at large, Sebastian must trade the straightforward perils of battle for the treacherous maze of aristocratic intrigue.

Isabel, the dowager Lady Somerton, believed her nightmare ended with her husband's death. Instead of freedom to establish her long-desired charity school, she discovers a cruel final betrayal-left destitute and still tethered to the Somerton name through her husband's enigmatic successor.

When Sebastian and Isabel's paths collide, neither expects the spark that ignites between them. But as suspicions mount and secrets unravel, can they trust their growing feelings? Or will the shadow of murder destroy their chance at happiness before it truly begins?

If you love your Regency romance with a dash of intrigue and adventure, fuelled by a slow burn romance, this is the book for you...
