Description
In Regency England, one letter will alter a young woman's fate when it summons her to Briarton Park--an ancient estate that holds the secrets of her past and the keys to her future. Sarah E. Ladd returns with another low-spice Regency romance, perfect for fans of Julie Klassen.
Cassandra Hale grew up knowing little about her parentage, and she had made peace with the fact that she never would. But her world shifts when a shocking deathbed confession reveals a two-year-old letter from Mr. Clark, the master of Briarton Park, with hints to her family's identity. Stung by betrayal, Cassandra travels to the village of Anston only to learn Mr. Clark has since passed away.
James Warrington is a widower and the new master of Briarton Park, where he lives with his two young daughters, his sister, and his mother-in-law. When Cassandra appears at his doorstep with a letter from the previous owner and then proceeds to assist his family in an unexpected way, he is honor bound to help uncover the answers she seeks.
The more time Cassandra spends in Anston, the more she begins to suspect not everything--or everyone--is as they seem. As details emerge, the danger surrounding her intensifies. Using wit and intuition, she must navigate the treacherous landscapes between truth and rumor and between loyalty and deception if she is to uncover the realities of her past and find the place her heart can finally call home.
Step into the enchanting world of Regency England with The Letter from Briarton Park by Sarah E. Ladd. This captivating tale weaves together mystery, romance, and the search for identity, keeping you turning pages well past bedtime. If you love well-written, engaging historical romances with heart and depth, this book is a must-read.

THE LETTER FROM BRIARTON PARK by SARAH E LADD is a Regency novel which takes place in 1811 in the little English village of Anston, the home of cloth mills, one of which, together with Briarton Park, has been bought by James Warrington from the estate of the deceased Robert Clark.
When Cassandra Hale comes to Anston to find out the truth about her parents, rumours fly as she tries to uncover the truth,. She does not know who to trust, especially when there is an inheritance involved. Somehow Robert Clark and Briarton Park are involved in her history.
James Warrington is a widower who lives with his sister Rachel, his two young daughters and his mother-in-law, the latter being cnvinced that Cassandra will bring problems to their family, and is horrified when James employs her as governess to his girls. James is determined to keep the lovely young woman safe and help her discover her roots.

When someone ends up murdered, things get very exciting,,,,,,and that is all I am going to tel you!

With a perfect blend of swoon-worthy romance, mystery, and historical intrigue, this story is a must-read for fans of Regency fiction. Though letters may not hold the same importance today, one life-changing letter sets Cassandra on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering long-buried secrets about her family and herself.

The story is rich with tension, danger, and heart-stirring romance, all woven together in a way that keeps you turning the pages. A beautifully written and thoroughly engaging historical that’s not to be missed!
