Lord Somerton's Heir

De: Alison Stuart

Narrado por: Amanda McKay

From the smoke-filled chaos of Waterloo to the elegant halls of Brantstone Hall, Captain Sebastian Alder finds his world transformed overnight when he inherits the Somerton viscountcy.

Yet his fairytale elevation masks a grim reality – crumbling estates, mounting debts and the disturbing questions surrounding his cousin's untimely demise. With a killer potentially still at large, Sebastian must trade the straightforward perils of battle for the treacherous maze of aristocratic intrigue.

Isabel, the dowager Lady Somerton, believed her nightmare ended with her husband's death. Instead of freedom to establish her long-desired charity school, she discovers a cruel final betrayal – left destitute and still tethered to the Somerton name through her husband's enigmatic successor.

When Sebastian and Isabel's paths collide, neither expects the spark that ignites between them. But as suspicions mount and secrets unravel, can they trust their growing feelings? Or will the shadow of murder destroy their chance at happiness before it truly begins?

Good one.

This was a good one. I enjoyed it a great deal, and after a time I will listen to it again. I think I will enjoy a second reading even more, because it had more suspense than I cared for. Now that I've heard and know the whole story, listing again will be more enjoyable as it won't make me tense.
