Publisher's summary

Could an historic house hold the key to their happiness?

The small seaside town of Rivers End is abuzz with the upcoming wedding of Christie Ryan and local artist, Martin, to be held at historic Palmerston House. Once home to Christie’s ancestors but lost in a poker game in the 1850s, it’s now an inviting bed and breakfast.

When a stranger arrives to stay at Palmerston House and starts asking questions around town, Christie begins to wonder about the history of the house. Do the locals know more than they are letting on and is someone hiding something?

Christie decides to do some investigating of her own, determined to uncover the true story behind the house’s ownership. But it turns out she’s not the only one with suspicions and searching for the truth can be a dangerous pastime...Will Christie and Martin get to walk down the aisle or will powerful forces from the past conspire to ruin their perfect wedding day? The key to their future may well lie in untangling secrets long forgotten.

The Secrets of Palmerston House is a dual-timeline story following on from Jasmine Sea. It has its own HEA.

Includes The Christmas Key, a bonus story from the Rivers End series.

A timeless love story

I’m not one to write a review on books at all but, after finishing all of the books from this series, I have to.. I love the main 2 couples; Christy and Martin, Martha and Thomas. I have not been to Australia but this book gave me the longing to travel there to see/feel and experience the beautiful settings and people described in these book. Can I start a petition to have this series made into a movie? Amazon Prime.. PLEASE MAKE THE LOVE STORIES of Martin & Christy and Thomas & Martha INTO A MOVIE.

Perfect end

Multiple love stories, all wonderful. Strong male and female characters, mystery from the past impacting the present and slowly
revealed in all for books. Part thriller thanks to the villains in each
story, perfect end in book four. Narration was great. I loved this series.

Book 3, the story just gets better

Twists & turns with an interesting & unpredictable plot makes this continuing series enjoyable from start to finish. The Narration is outstanding and brings the intriguing characters to life. Just say yes & enjoy!

Loved all four books!

Couldn’t stop listening. Great character development and storyline with multiple romances and a different thriller or two included in each book. The past plays upon the present. Liked the reader too! We’ll done everyone.

Love it

Love how everything came together in the end. I do wish, though, that Trevor wasn’t so “laid back” and careless, in both this and the previous books.

Needs a subtitle

Please note that this book also includes book 4 n the series. It would have saved searching other sources.

Family saga

It’s rather complicated with so many characters but can go over it if you get mixed up with and lose the plot.

this series grew on me

After the first book- average & predictable- the rest of the books I enjoyed very much. Each book drawing me in. Now hoping the author may add another adventure to this series. Very well narrated.

An enjoable and satisfying series conclusion.

I will miss these characters who've become old friends (including the dogs). Read aloud beautifully.
