‘A page-turning historical mystery’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review.
If you save a crumbling mansion, will it mend a broken heart?
A month ago, Amy Wood had her perfect home, perfect boyfriend and perfect job in London. Now she’s broken-hearted, living in her parents’ tiny bungalow, and working in an estate agents in Bath.
But Amy gets a new lease on life when she undertakes to sell Rosemont Hall, a crumbling Georgian mansion riddled with woodworm, dry rot – and secrets.
Amy searches for the perfect owner to restore the house to its former glory, but time is running out for Rosemont Hall. As Amy clashes with unscrupulous property developers and the enigmatic heir to the house, she begins to uncover pieces of the past that some people would rather remain hidden.
Can Amy unlock the secret of Rosemont Hall and find the keys to her own happy ending?
