Beastly Lords Book Seven
Eleanor — An adventurous young woman is thrust into a real-life Gothic riddle. Luckily, she has a dashing hero to assist her. But his puzzling past may tear them apart.
Eleanor Blackwood is thrilled to spend time at her best friend’s country estate. Angsley Hall overflows with the breathtaking natural beauty of fields, forests, and a mighty river, as well as with a mystery or two. She’s even more delighted by the unexpected arrival of the man who has secretly captured her heart.
Grayson O’Connor is not immune to Eleanor’s charms. True, she still climbs trees and acts rashly, but she also has a quick wit and joyful humor. Yet with his own past cloaked in shadows, he’s not convinced he has the right to pursue this innocent spirit.
Amidst a week of drenching squalls, they begin an intriguing treasure hunt based on Edgar Allan Poe’s The Gold Bug. Danger becomes all too real with midnight intruders, shots in the dark, and a perilously swollen river cresting its banks. Unlike Poe’s story of pirate booty, Eleanor and Gray discover the greatest treasure is the precious human heart — theirs to cherish or to tear apart.

REVIEWS:
“I have enjoyed every book in the series. The characters are endearing and truly care about one another. You’ll have to read them all and this is a series that you will read again. “
“What an interesting life Eleanor Blackwood is living spending her time with her married sisters at different estates. She is the youngest and really enjoys natural environment in every way. She has held an interest in Grayson O’Connor for quite some time. When he comes with a message to stay away from her sister’s husband because of illness sweeping the estate, she finds her feelings growing for Grayson. Together they find ways to spend the time together learning more about each other. Another wonderful story based on Edger Allen Poe’s ‘The Gold Bug.'”
“I adore the Beastly Lords series! I love the development of each character and plot. Wondering what’s around the next paragraph was fun and entertaining. “
