Historical Fiction-Romance
For the third Inspirational Regency Romance from Linore Rose Burkard, the author takes up the story five years after the events of The House on Grosvener Square. The first romance has achieved the desired result of matrimony and even produced two children, unusually doted upon by their parents, Ariana and Phillip Mornay. Mr. Mornay would become a viscount, if only he’d agree, but he has more vexing business to attend to: Ariana’s family visit with her scheming and somewhat spoiled naïve young sister Beatrice, as well as having to fill his estate’s Country curacy. And that is a nasty business when who should be proposed for the post but a former rival of Ariana?
Burkard’s favorite family of mischief returns for another adventure. Not content to cause madcap mayhem in London, they now find plenty of trouble in the country when a mysterious illness causes an upheaval in housing arrangements.

Ariana is a professing naïve Christian with a charitable heart who desires to help London’s endless profoundly impoverished. A mutual love with an enormously wealthy aristocrat, Philip Mornay, follows. Mr. Mornay is so taken with Miss Forsythe, in fact, that he also has a change of heart for faith and allows his fiancé to follow her heart in redecorating his Greco-Roman-style home filled with pagan symbols, as well as getting accidentally involved in donating to every rag-tag charity in town.
Fearing for her livelihood, Mr. Mornay’s housekeeper plots to discredit her future mistress before the wedding. The Institution for Decayed Housekeepers will not be her end, she vows. Unbeknownst to them all, another plot is underway to kidnap the young woman...
