Review
This book is such a fun historical romance! Filled with history and a bit of mystery, this is a great novel for young ladies 14 and up!
This book is about Bridget Littleton, a young women with a love for the past and anything antique. So when her neighbors discover a roman mosaic tile buried in their field, she starts dreaming of discovery and adventure! But the tiles seem to stretch beyond the field into their neighboring lords property. And Rafe Hawthorn is not interested in lost art. All he wants is to heal from his battle wound and sell of his land. But with sabotage and land disputes, it seems like Bridget and Rafe are going to have to work together to solve the mystery.
This was a wonderful read from start to finish!!!! I enjoyed the storyline, the characters were fabulous and mystery was super interesting! The novel is well written and a great read for young ladies 14 and up.
Now there is some violence in the book. Mention of war, injures and such. There are some chapters that talk about abuse, murder and death. Mention of skeletal remains. As well as mention of being unchaperoned and it being improper. Honestly, the novel is pretty clean, but some violence is brought up.
Overall, this is a fabulous book that I totally suggest! I loved every chapter of this book and can’t wait for more by this author. Happy Readings! -The Young Llama Reader.

She wants to uncover the past. He wishes to build a future. In this Regency romance set in rolling hills of West Sussex, two opposing wills discover their fate may lie in the common ground.
Miss Bridget Littleton’s passion for history and antiquities defies most social conventions, even in her small village nestled in the beautiful English countryside. When a local farmer discovers an elaborate mosaic buried in his field, Bridget dreams of making a name and future for herself by excavating the Roman ruins. Unfortunately, her quest puts her at odds with the ambitious new lord who recently inherited the title and Hawthorn Abbey from his estranged uncle.
Recovering from wounds of both body and spirit, Captain Rafe Hawthorn is intent on restoring his long-neglected ancestral home. His plans to rebuild the abbey’s once thriving orchards require a road that will pass straight through Bridget’s potential trove of artifacts. He will not―cannot―fail again, even if he is moved by Bridget and her passion.
Yet this impasse might not be their greatest obstacle. A natural disaster and a series of suspicious accidents threaten both their plans, along with the livelihood of the nearby villagers dependent on their success. With their dreams in the balance, Bridget and Rafe must work together to fend off an unexpected enemy that may prove more dangerous than either could have imagined.
