All Brontë Ellis has ever known is life at St. Mary’s all-boys boarding school, where he lingered first as a student and then as a teaching assistant. So when a chance to forge a new life in Cambridge presents itself, he seizes it with both hands.

Arriving at Greenwood Manor as the new live-in tutor, Bron finds himself welcomed by all – the gregarious Mr Edwards, his precocious pupil Ada . . . except for Darcy, the elusive and tempestuous eldest son. Despite the rumours about him, Bron cannot help feeling drawn to the one person who seems determined to avoid him.

When tragedy strikes the house, Bron begins to sense dark secrets smouldering beneath Greenwood Manor’s surface. Soon he’s not sure what to believe, or whether he even has a future at Greenwood. Only Darcy holds the key, if he can be persuaded to reveal his heart to Bron . . .

My Thoughts:

This is a modern classic, about Bronte Ellis and his life. As the new live in tutor at Greenwood Manor. When something awful happens it is up to Bronte to piece together the why and what happened. There are secrets to discover and intriguing and suspicious characters, you don’t know who to trust. It was a good read, if you are a fan of Jane Austen this is definitely the book for you. It is full of mystery, romance and secrets, but can Bronte work it all out before it is too late? A author I would like to read again.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
