Book Description: Miss Eleanor Sheffield is a talented evaluator of antiquities, trained to know the difference between a genuine artifact and a fraud. But with her father’s passing and her uncle’s decline into dementia, the family business is at risk. In the Victorian era, unmarried Eleanor cannot run Sheffield Brothers alone.
The death of a longtime client, Baron Lydney, offers an unexpected complication when Eleanor is appointed the temporary trustee of the baron’s legendary collection. She must choose whether to donate the priceless treasures to a museum or allow them to pass to the baron’s only living son, Harry―the man who broke Eleanor’s heart.
My Thoughts: I like to switch up my reading every once in awhile. So this time I chose a historical novel set in the Victorian Age.
Sandra Byrd did some extensive research for this novel. It's accurate and every so good.
Eleanor Sheffield's father has just passed away and it's up to her to keep the family antiquities business running. But there is one small problem...Eleanor is unmarried and cannot run the business as a "lone woman."
Now there is a man who could help her but he broke her heart in the past and she isn't quite sure she should or could trust him. But she really needs his help.
As only Sandra Byrd can she writes in the setting of the age she is writing about. She keeps the times with the characters of her novel. In other words it's not fakey but ever so real.
