But I did not at all like the Narrator, Aubrey Warner! She did not speak as the people in the story would have spoken. That is the reason that I listened to this book. I have read/listened to other stories about the Jonquil family, and very much liked them. Can the two find a way to bridge their worlds?
Their regard for each other is undeniable, but they are haunted by their pasts. Yet amid the festivities, he’s impossibly drawn to the dowager’s quiet companion, Arabella. Lieutenant Linus Lancaster has retired from the navy and is not looking for love, especially when he finds himself entangled in his sisters’ scheme to trap him into finding a wife at a house party at Lampton Park. So when the countess plans a grand house party, Arabella is content to hide in the shadows. The lines of her position are blurred, and she is neither family nor servant. As she takes up residence at the estate, the young woman soon finds that life at the Park is far more complicated than she imagined.
Now, years later, that opportunity is presented to Arabella in a most unexpected way: She is to be the lady’s companion to the dowager countess. The only light in her young life was the kindness of the Jonquil family, and she clung to the childish dream of someday living with them at Lampton Park. Orphaned as a child, Arabella Hampton was the unwanted and unloved charge of a cruel aunt and neglectful uncle.
