The Heiresss Homecoming by Regina Scott
Book 4: The Everard Legacy
This story takes place in 1813 in Cumberland, England. William Wentworth never planned on being Earl of Kendrick, he was a second son after all. The murder of his brother and the death of his father left him without a choice. It was time to return and be a father to his son as well. And then the night of his sons seventeenth birthday party Will laid eyes on the most beautiful woman. A woman his son was besotted with.
Samantha, Lady Everard had many secrets in her life. One was about the murder of Wills brother. A secret that had to be kept to protect so many people she loved. Her other secret was what would happen if she wasnt married by her twenty-fifth birthday. Which she wouldnt be. She knew that love and marriage was something she would never have in her life, no matter the other costs.
This is the fourth and last book in the series and I would suggest reading the previous books; The Rogues Reform, The Captains Courtship and The Rakes Redemption to help understand Samanthas past and her future. This story has the fear of the past holding the characters back from a joyful future. The fear of making the mistakes of those before them and who to trust, as people arent always who they seem to be. An exciting story line with characters who come alive. A series worth reading.
