Publisher's Summary

Kate Worthington knows her heart and she knows she will never to marry. Her plan is to travel to India instead - if only to find peace for her restless spirit and to escape the family she abhors. But Kate’s meddlesome mother has other plans. She makes a bargain with Kate: India, yes, but only after Kate has secured - and rejected - three marriage proposals.

Kate journeys to the stately manor of Blackmoore determined to fulfill her end of the bargain sooner rather than later and enlists the help of her dearest childhood friend, Henry Delafield. But when it comes to matters of love, bargains are meaningless and plans are changeable. There on the wild lands of Blackmoore, Kate must face the truth that has kept her heart captive. Will the proposal she is determined to reject actually be the one thing that will set her heart free?

Set in Northern England in 1820, Blackmoore is a regency romance that tells the story of a young woman struggling to learn how to follow her heart.

An absolutely touching love story

At first when I read the reviews, I was skeptical about purchasing this book because many reviewers said it wasn't a light story so it would be extra dark. While it's definitely not a fluffy rom com, it's honestly one of the best romance novels I have read/listened to in a very long time. It's heartbreakingly beautiful but there is a HEA for both the Hero and Heroine. At first, the plot devices seem very forced or simplistic but stick with the story, I guarantee it's worth it. The wretched side characters just deepen the story and you really root for the love story. The narrator is amazing. Totally worth the credit!!!
