Synopsis

Royalty comes to Sidmouth, bringing unexpected danger and the sweet possibility of romance. When the Duke and Duchess of Kent and their infant daughter — the future Queen Victoria — rent the neighboring Woolbrook Cottage for the winter, the Summers sisters are called upon to host members of the royal household in their own coastal home. Aspiring novelist Emily Summers seizes the opportunity to research and write a guidebook to the area, working alongside the Duke's private secretary — even as a surprise visitor from her past forces her to weigh her long-held literary ambitions against newly stirring feelings. Book two of Julie Klassen's "On Devonshire Shores" series, a 2024 Christy Award finalist.
