Description
Rockwood was home and she would do anything she could to stop it being stolen from them.
Abandoned by their parents and left to fight for themselves, headstrong Rosalind Carey has no choice but to take charge of her younger brothers and sister in Devonshire’s grand Rockwood Castle. But their once much-loved home is crumbling like the family that lives within it. Living hand to mouth and desperate to provide for the estate that depends on them, the Carey family are one debt away from ruin. Until the day comes when the dashing Piers Blanchard appears on their doorstep from Cornwall, claiming he is Rosalind’s distant cousin and that Rockwood Castle is his.
Piers says he wants to help pay off the family’s debts. But how can Rosalind be sure he isn’t out to take what is his and leave them all homeless? Only a closely-guarded secret will convince Rosalind she can trust Piers to protect her family – and her fragile heart.

A brilliant start to Dilly Courts' next series. It is so easy to immerse ones self in the story and feel part of it. The characters were easy to relate to and the storyline was very compelling. Excellent read!

I confess, I wasn’t sure at first but so glad I kept going. Loved it. My special character was Sir Lucien, who brought such fun to the story with his antics. Lady Pentelow was a force to be reckoned with. Especially, coming to live in the castle with her two sons Alex and Piers who would prove to be a welcome distraction for Rosalind. Look forward to the next in the series.
Definitely recommend this book.

This was a book that l could not stop reading. There was plenty of excitement and drama. Loved the characters and cannot wait for the next book to find out what happens.

Absolutely brilliant.
Anyone who loves a family saga will just love this book.

Im the biggest fan of Dilly Court just love her story telling and way of writing. She can’t do any wrong in my eyes and I was looking forward to reading this new series. Loved it! This was great read and I loved the characters. I had no idea how it was going to end. This was a page turner, and I finished the second half in one sitting because I had to know the ending. Roll on the next instalment.
