"A remarkable tale with many unpredictable twists and turns."—CBA Retailers+Resources
"A treat for [readers] who want their historical romances served up with a generous dash of mystery."—Booklist

"[Klassen's] work appeals to all who seek a riveting Regency romance."—RT Book Reviews
Abigail Foster is the practical daughter. She fears she will end up a spinster, especially as she has little dowry, and the one man she thought might marry her seems to have fallen for her younger, prettier sister.
Facing financial ruin, Abigail and her father search for more affordable lodgings, until a strange solicitor arrives with an astounding offer: the use of a distant manor house abandoned for eighteen years. The Fosters journey to imposing Pembrooke Park and are startled to find it entombed as it was abruptly left: tea cups encrusted with dry tea, moth-eaten clothes in wardrobes, a doll's house left mid-play...
The handsome local curate welcomes them, but though he and his family seem acquainted with the manor's past, the only information they offer is a stern warning: Beware trespassers drawn by rumors that Pembrooke Park contains a secret room filled with treasure.
This catches Abigail's attention. Hoping to restore her family's finances—and her dowry—Abigail looks for this supposed treasure. But eerie sounds at night and footprints in the dust reveal she isn't the only one secretly searching the house.
Then Abigail begins receiving anonymous letters, containing clues about the hidden room and startling discoveries about the past.
As old friends and new foes come calling at Pembrooke Park, secrets come to light. Will Abigail find the treasure and love she seeks...or very real danger?

      Though Abigail Foster and her family are not yet reduced to begging, the family's fortune has been severely diminished owing to Abigail's untimely investment advice. Therefore, when a distant relative offers to lease Pembrooke Park to the Fosters at a greatly reduced rate, the offer could not come at a better time. Abandoned nearly two decades ago, the manor house has stood empty until Abigail and her father arrive. Pembrooke Park is definitely a place of secrets, and rumors of a treasure hidden somewhere in the house pique Abigail's interest. However, when Abigail begins to hear ghostly moans at night, discovers footprints in the dust, and spots a hooded figure vanishing around corners of the house, she begins to wonder if someone else might be searching the house as well. Jane Austen meets Victoria Holt in Christy Awardwinning Klassen's (The Dancing Master, 2014) latest deliciously spooky and sweetly romantic historical, and the author's deft incorporation of the faith-based component of her story means this well-crafted romance will have wide appeal beyond inspirational romance fans.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
