Waiting On:
Title: A Lady of Willowgrove Hall
Author: Sarah E. Ladd
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Publication Date: October 2014

Synopsis: 
from GoodReads
Willowgrove Hall is full of secrets, but soon everything hidden is brought to light.

Cecily Faire has a secret—and she intends to keep it. But when she arrives at Willowgrove Hall to serve as a lady’s companion, she comes face-to-face with the only person who knows the truth about her past.


As the steward of Willowgrove Hall, Nathaniel Stanton is dedicated to serving those around him. Nothing escapes his notice—including the beautiful new lady’s companion. He is certain the lovely Miss Faire is hiding something, and he determines to uncover it. But Nathaniel has a secret of his own: he is the illegitimate son of Willowgrove’s former master. Falling in love was not part of his plans . . . until he meets Cecily Faire.


When Willowgrove’s mistress dies, everything changes. Fear of exposure forces Cecily to leave under the cover of darkness, embarking on a journey to finally find her long-lost sister. When the will is read, Nathaniel’s inheritance makes him question his future plans. Cecily and Nathaniel are forced to make decisions that will change the course of their lives. Is their love strong enough to survive?
Why I'm Waiting:
I finally was able to read Sarah Ladd's debut, The Heiress of Winterwood, and really enjoyed it. She had such a smooth and fast paced writing style that brought you into the story. I'm looking to reading more Regency era stories from her.

What are you waiting on this week?
