Liliana's father was murdered when she was 10. She is a scientist and his father was as well. Her mother was a healer and died when she was little. Liliana's father encouraged her in her studies. Geoffrey is the 2nd son of an Earl and inherited the title after his brother's death. He served in the war, was injured, and has goals to improve the lives of the vets.
Geoffrey's mother decides to hold a house party. He has decided he needs to marry and sire a heir. He goes along with it based on men that have been invited and he needs their support for the bills he wants to pass. Liliana comes across some letters, one of which has the seal of the Earl of Stratford. She is able to go with her cousin (Penelope- her story is book 3), who was invited to the house party. Liliana plans on searching for clues to solve murder of her father.
I loved both characters. Geoffrey and Liliana are both likeable characters and I enjoyed reading their story. I liked the Liliana was forthright and Geoffrey accepted and eventually realized that was who she was and his title didn't matter to her. Liliana was intelligent and Geoffrey loved her for just as she was. Liked the mystery aspect.
Aveline's story is next (he is Geoffrey's next door neighbor and spent some time with Liliana to support her)
