Description
This is the sixth book in the Redway Acres series but can be enjoyed as an individual book in its own right. It is a prequel to the first five books.
The Redway Acres saga continues with book six. A look back to the early life of Emmalee Knightly in the late 18th century.
Emmalee, the middle daughter of an affluent family, lives with her controlling parents on the North Norfolk coast. She, along with her two sisters, is expected to marry well. To that end, the family often travels to their London home for the social season. Emmalee has long believed in her destiny- an arranged marriage to David Ackley, the youngest son of the Earl of Aysthill. However, to Emmalee's horror, during their much-anticipated first meeting, she discovers that David desires someone else.
Despite the cloud of controversy hanging over them, the couple find themselves forced into a marriage of convenience, and David's reaction to his perceived misfortune results in far-reaching consequences for his family and friends. Meanwhile, a pregnancy, an accident, and an untimely death thrust Emmalee into the demanding role of Countess of Aysthill, to which she rises with dauntless spirit. Emmalee dotes on her two sons, William and Nathaniel, who invoke differing affections from their father.
The hope that sustains Emmalee is that time will heal the breach her marriage suffered even before she spoke her vows. But just as the wound finally begins to mend, a ghost from the past returns.
