I was so completely immersed in this story that I didn’t want it to end! Carolyn Miller has written a wonderful story with very engaging characters, a bit of danger, a touch of humor, and a whole lot of heart!
My
favorite part of this story is how Caroline grows and changes once she
realizes that God wants to be the center of her life. It’s one of the
most believable transformations that I’ve read! I also really loved her
sweet relationship with Emma, who is Gideon’s sister.
Gideon
is a wonderful character! He lives a faithful life in both word and
deed. I love how he sacrificed things in his life to help Emma and keep
her safe. I would love to read Emma’s full story!
This
is book 1 of the Regency Brides: Daughters of Aynsley series. Looking
forward to reading the next story!

BackCover Blurb:
Can a very proper noble lady find a future with a fossil-hunting man of faith?
As the daughter of Viscount Aynsley, Caroline Hatherleigh knows every rule of society—and she’s always followed them precisely. It’s simply the way things are done in her world. When she visits south Devonshire and encounters a fossil-hunting scientist and his sister, her assumptions about what is right are shaken. She is suddenly confronted by questions she has never considered about the importance of friendship and faith—and her comfortable understanding about how the world works is thrown off balance.
Gideon Kirby loves science, and hunting down proof of past lives is a joy he won’t willingly give up. But his scientific leanings are being challenged by both his personal beliefs and by local smugglers in the Devonshire countryside. And every day his sister’s illness is becoming more desperate and her care grows more demanding. Adding a proper Viscount’s daughter to the mix is a complication Gideon never expected—especially since he has a secret that demands he stays far away from this young woman he’s falling for in order to protect his beloved sister.
When a mysterious stranger visits the village, that secret is set to be exposed, no matter how Gideon fights. Then tragedy strikes in a smugglers cave. And the threat of scandal may lead to broken hearts and passionless propriety. Will the shaky bond these two have managed to build be strong enough to overcome their differences—or will the trust they’ve withheld from each other end up tearing three lives apart?
