Author Hannah Linder’s talents shine in this intriguing and fascinating historical romance set in England in the early 1800s. The cover is captivating, and I was pulled into the story from the first pages. The main characters, William and Isabella, were well-drawn and engaging, the villains were dastardly and hiss-worthy, and I was wrung out a few times with the situations and trials Linder put her characters through. I felt such compassion with poor William who had so many hardships to overcome in his life. I was rooting for him to get his happy-ever-after.
“Just have to forgive . . . even if you got to do it over and over again.”
With plenty of suspense, intrigue, inspiration, plenty of twists and turns, and a good dose of romance, this is a beautiful story of forgiveness, hope, and resiliency. I’m looking forward to more books from this author.

BackCover Blurb:
She begged him once more to meet in the garden at midnight.
“If you love me,” said the letter.
But if he loved her, he would not come at all.
Enjoy another Gothic Style Regency from Hannah Linder.
The accidents are not a matter of chance. They are deliberate. As
English gentleman William Kensley becomes aware of the danger at
Rosenleigh Manor, he pleads for the truth of his past from the only man
he can trust—until that man is murdered.
As the secrets unfold into scandal, William’s world is tipped into
destitution, leaving him penniless and alone. His only comfort is in the
constant friendship and love of Isabella Gresham. If he does not have
their nonsense at the seashore, their laughter, their reckless
adventures, has he anything at all?
He should have known that would be ripped from him too. When a hidden
foe arises from their acquaintances and imperils Isabella’s life,
William may be the only one willing to risk his life to rescue her. But
even if he frees Isabella from her captors, will he still have to
forsake her heart?
Some sacrifice everything for love. Others
sacrifice love for everything else. In this haunting tale of rigid
social prejudices and heart-aching regrets, the greatest decision of
their life will be determined in the garden of the midnights.
