Harry Browning was a motherless guttersnipe, and the morning he came across the elderly Lord Preston clinging to a sheer rock face he didn’t believe in fate. But the fates have plans for Harry whether he believes or not, and he’s not entirely sure he likes them. As a reward for his bravery, and in an unusual moment of charity, miserly Lord Preston takes him on. He is taught to read, to manage the … manage the vast and crumbling estate, and to behave like a gentleman, but Harry knows that is something he will never truly be.
Already running from a dark past, his future is becoming increasingly complex as he finds himself caught in a tangled web of jealousy and revenge.
Temptation, in the form of the lovely Lady Clarinda Bow, is a constant threat to his peace of mind, enticing him to be something he isn’t. But when the old man dies his will makes a surprising demand, and the fates might just give Harry the chance to have everything he ever desired, including Clara, if only he dares.
And as those close to the Preston family begin to die, Harry may not have any choice.

A surprising twist to it.
This was very good………all of the elements, suspense, romance and a murder mistory.
The book was hard to put down.
I loved this book. Loved the H and h. It had a great ending. A little suspense and a sweet romance.
I would rate the this book higher if I could. It was a page turner to the end. More than romance there were character struggles, plot twists, mystery–so good!
This one I did enjoy . It was different and the “who done it ” would shift several times before the outcome.
Loved the ending, I didn’t see it coming.
