BOOK DESCRIPTION
Will Seeking Justice Lead to Her Own Demise? A Gothic-Style Regency Romance from a Promising Young Author Second daughter of a baron—and a little on the mischievous side—Ella Pemberton is no governess. But the pretense is a necessity if she ever wishes to get inside of Wyckhorn Manor and attain the truth. Exposing the man who killed her sister is all that matters. Lord Sedgewick knows there’s blood on his hands. Lies have been conceived, then more lies, but the price of truth would be too great. All he has left now is his son—and his hatred. Yet as the charming governess invades his home, his safe cocoon of bitterness begins to tear away. Could Ella, despite the lingering questions of his guilt, fall in love with such a man? Or is she falling prey to him—just as her dead sister?

· "This book has everything I love...a dark and broody hero, a spunky heroine on a mission, and a deeply delicious creepy manor home. Beneath His Silence is a rather gothic tale set in Regency England, filled with plenty of intrigue, danger, and romance to make for a very satisfying read."— Michelle Griep, Christy Award-winning author of Lost in Darkness
MY REVIEW
Ella leaves home after the death of her father to help solve her sister's murder. By chance she ends up as the governess to her sister's young son.
The rest of this story is Ella solving the mystery of her sister's death and even a bit about her married life.
Ella is a fantastic character. She is curious, vivacious, and determined to find the truth. With what she knows about her sister, she is able to uncover things that help her to find the surprising truth.
Lord Sedgewick has secrets, which increase Ella's suspicions that he killed her sister, but then she sees a side of him that doesn't match her previous suspicions.
This story is amazing. The writing is strong and the chemistry between these characters is undeniable. I found it a struggle to put down and participate in life. I was absolutely enthralled with this debut novel.
I received a early copy from NetGalley and this is my honest review.
