This week’s book giveaway will run for three weeks and is for the inspirational historical romance Ladies of the Manor series by Roseanna M White. I also have an extra copy of The Reluctant Duchess so a second winner will get that copy.
What are these books about?
Brook Eden has never known where she truly belongs. Though raised in the palace of Monaco, she’s British by birth and was brought to the Grimaldis under suspicious circumstances as a babe. When Brook’s friend Justin uncovers the fact that Brook is likely a missing heiress from Yorkshire, Brook leaves the sun of the Mediterranean to travel to the moors of the North Sea to the estate of her supposed family.
The mystery of her mother’s death haunts her, and though her father is quick to accept her, the rest of the family and the servants of Whitby Park are not. Only when Brook’s life is threatened do they draw close–but their loyalty may come too late to save Brook from the same threat that led to tragedy for her mother.
As heir to a dukedom, Justin is no stranger to balancing responsibilities. When the matters of his estate force him far from Brook, the distance between them reveals that what began as friendship has grown into something much more. But how can their very different loyalties and responsibilities ever come together?
Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough–not for her father, not for the man she thought she’d marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she’s willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar.
Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one to shy away from manor-born ladies, the last thing he needs is the distraction of Lady Rowena, who finds herself in a desperate situation. But when Rowena’s father tries to trap Brice into marrying his daughter, Brice makes a surprising decision.
Rowena wanted to escape the Highlands, but she’s reluctant to marry a notorious flirt. And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she’s about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid.
Lady Ella Myerston can always find a reason to smile–even if it’s just in hope that tomorrow will be better than today. All her life everyone has tried to protect her from the realities of the world, but Ella knows very well the danger that has haunted her brother and their friend, and she won’t wait for it to strike again. She intends to take action . . . and if that happens to involve an adventurous trip to the Cotswolds, then so much the better.
Lord Cayton has already broken two hearts, including that of his first wife, who died before he could convince himself to love her. Now he’s determined to live a better life. But that proves complicated when old friends arrive on the scene and try to threaten him into a life of crime. He does his best to remove the intriguing Lady Ella from danger, but the stubborn girl won’t budge. How else can he redeem himself, though, but by saving her–and his daughter–from those dangerous people who seem ready to destroy them all?

not sure
Loraine
Thanks for commenting bn100. 🙂
Gail Hollingsworth
I would comment to her “what a lovely necklace”
“I’ve been looking for a similar one. May I ask where you purchased it?”
If her answers are unsatisfactory I quietly walk away and call the police on my cell phone.
Loraine
Good strategy Gail. 🙂
Julie T
I would take a photo from a distance. Then I’d attempt a conversation to see what she knows about the necklace. Try to gain condemning evidence to give to police.
Loraine
Oh, I like that strategy too Julie. 🙂
Deana
I would tell her that she has great taste in jewelry. I then would tell her I use to have a necklace exactly like that one and she must tell me where I can purchase one just like hers.
Loraine
I like that Deana. Butter her up and see if she slips. 😉
Deana
Our conversation would be like this!”What a lovely necklace. I had one just like that once. It seemed to have disappeared. You just tell me where you got yours . I would love to buy another one and hope you can help me .
Sally Davison
Boy, that is a tough question. I might say, “your necklace is lovely. May i ask where you found such a beautiful necklace?” Then may call the police.
Loraine
I like the caution there Sally. 🙂
Sarah Taylor
I would say I Love your necklace it is Beautiful may I ask where you bought it at?
Loraine
The direct approach is very nice Sarah. 🙂
Faith Creech
I think I would be so shocked I wouldn’t know what to do! I would ask her where she go it and how long she had it. Then say “what a coincidence, I used to have one just like it!”
Loraine
I would be shocked too Faith. You recover nicely though. 😉
Linda Moffitt
Tell My Husband and Try and get a closer look
Loraine
I like that Linda. I would definitely draw my husband into the mix. 🙂
Lucy M Reynolds
Probably nothing, but I would want to admire it and ask where she purchased it, as I would like to find something similar. Blessings
Loraine
I get that Lucy. I would probably be to timid to confront the woman. 🙂
Perrianne Askew
I would remark that I used to have a necklace identical to it but it was stolen Then ask if it was purchased locally and that I’m interested in replacing mine. See if I get a rise out of her!
Loraine
I like your courage Perrianne. 🙂
Pam Kellogg
I might compliment her on her lovely necklace and ask her where she got it. Was it a family heirloom?
Loraine
Subtle but hopefully effective Pam. 😉
susan atkins
I would confront her-ask her where and when she got this necklace
Loraine
The direct approach. Very nice Susan. 🙂
MJSH
I’d ask her where she got the necklace and prove further regarding the history of the necklace.
Loraine
Ooo even more direct. I admire your guts Mindy. 🙂
Donna Irvin
I would first ask her where she got it.
Loraine
Thanks for commenting Donna. 🙂
Vivian Furbay
I would try to find out who she is and what her reputation is. She may have gotten it at a pawn shop which I heard they had back in England in those days.
Loraine
That is very true Vivian. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions. 🙂
Lisa Harness
I would get her name, then have the police check into it.
Loraine
I like the caution there Lisa. 🙂
Shelia Hall
go up and compliment her on it and ask where she got it from.I might then call the cops and have her arrested.
Loraine
Thanks for commenting Shelia. 🙂
Natalya Lakhno
lol, get to know her and compliment her on the necklace while fishing for more info…
Loraine
Smart strategy Natalya. 🙂
JOAN ARNING
Call the police!
Loraine
Thanks for commenting Joan. 🙂
Alison Boss
I would meander up to her, introduce myself, and tell her how much I admired her necklace. I would watch to see what her response was when I told her my name…see if there was any kind of recognition. I wou;d then ask her where she purchased it and when, as I would like to have one of my own…again, watching to see her response. Then I would excuse myself and go find my husband to get his help with how we should proceed next. 🙂
Loraine
Very well thought out Alison. 🙂
Cathy Landivar
I’d tactfully get to know the woman and then comment about the loss of my necklace and see her reaction.
Loraine
Thanks for commenting Cathy. 🙂
Emily T
I would first compliment her unique necklace and ask how her time at the event has been. I would then proceed to inquire about her history with the necklace, such as if she purchased it, if it is a family heriloom, or if it is something she just came across. I would also ask about how she came to be at this event. Or I would speak to others about who she is in case I was feeling shy to speak to someone new.
Loraine
Welcome to my website Emily and thanks for commenting. 🙂
