"A swoon-worthy, thoughtful Christian romance in which two haunted people learn self-acceptance and trust." -Foreword Reviews
In the eyes of London Society, Gillian Phelps is suitable enough. Though the ton whispers about her change of residence, any speculation remains just that: ballroom gossip. No one―not even the other Huntresses, the group of ladies she calls her dearest friends―knows that she is harboring a devastating family secret. Gillian has become adept at hiding the reality of her circumstances, but the close quarters of a house party will test her ability to conceal the crushing truth. And with so many people to deceive, the late arrival of another guest is a most unwelcome surprise.
Despite his standing as a gentleman of the ton, in truth, Scott Sarvol possesses little more than two debt-riddled estates. When an opportunity arises to survey one of his properties, he travels north, only to find himself an unwitting guest at Artemis Jonquil’s house party. He is warmly welcomed by all―except the aloof Miss Gillian Phelps. But when Scott proves himself unexpectedly helpful in a crisis, his acquaintance with Gillian shifts from wariness to something warmer.
As both her charade and her feelings for Scott deepen, Gillian realizes that the truth could spell not only a devastating fall from Society but also a shattered heart.

My Review
I'm happy whenever I lose myself in a novel involving the Gents and the Jonquil/Lancaster families. These beloved literary families written by Author Sarah M. Eden have my heart. Now, we get to delve into the world of "The Huntresses", Artemis Jonquil’s group of lively, beautiful, and mostly confident young ladies.
In this first novel of the new series, we get to follow Gillian Phelps and Scott Sarvol's romance. Both of these characters have longed for a cohesive, and loving family. Set with many trials in their lives, they both are hesitant to open up and let each other in. It seems like the world is against them until their friends and "family" come to their aid. I loved the way that Mater, the Jonquil Matriarch, always has a way of secretly making things happen behind the scenes.
The many themes of the importance of family and friends that become our family, not giving up hope, and enduring to the end are felt throughout the book. It was also a joy to see the lovely way that Scott and Gillian came together. This is not only an entertaining book but one that will leave you feeling quite satisfied with the ending. I'm looking forward to book 2 in this series.
