About the Book
The House at the End of the Moor was a book I didn't want to end. This story of love and forgiveness is full of adventure and intrigue. I loved all the details the author included about mid-18th century life in England. This book was well-researched and so interesting and the ending was satisfying and I'll be thinking about these characters for a long while. I highly recommend it.
Back Cover
What Can a London Opera Star and an Escaped Dartmoor Prisoner Have in Common?
Opera star Maggie Lee escapes her opulent lifestyle when threatened by a powerful politician who aims to ruin her life. She runs off to the wilds of the moors to live in anonymity. All that changes the day she discovers a half-dead man near her house. Escaped convict Oliver Ward is on the run to prove his innocence, until he gets hurt and is taken in by Maggie. He discovers some jewels in her possession—the very same jewels that got him convicted. Together they hatch a plan to return the jewels, clearing Oliver’s name and hopefully maintaining Maggie’s anonymity.
