A Candace Camp
historical romance is always a delight. An Independent Woman is one of
her best. Julianna Holcott & Nicholas Barre are childhood friends
who faced orphanhood together. Fifteen years later, Nicholas is now
Lord Barre. He returns to England to claim his inheritance and find
Julianna, who is now a paid companion. Nicholas proposes marriage to
his dear friend, thinking he can maintain a marriage of convenience.
Candace Camp captivates us throughout the pages as the desire builds
between Julianna and Nicholas. They return to his estate to be married,
an estate and inheritance his cousin Crandall and Aunt Lilith have been
maintaining for him throughout the years of his absence. The story
takes a turn with a murder on Julianna & Nicholas's wedding night,
with a Clue-like cast of characters as the possible culprit. A touching
Cinderella story with a bit of mystery and suspense. An enjoyable read!
