Synopsis

1906

Lady Elizabeth “Libby” Sinclair, with her love of microscopes and nature, isn’t favored in society. She flees to the beautiful Isles of Scilly for the summer and stumbles onto the dangerous secrets left behind by her holiday cottage’s former
occupant, also named Elizabeth, who mysteriously vanished.

Oliver Tremayne—gentleman and clergyman—is determined to discover what happened to his sister, with the help of the girl now living in what should have been Beth’s summer cottage … especially when he realizes it’s the curious young
lady he met briefly two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology. But the hunt for his sister involves far more than nature walks, and he can’t quite believe all the secrets Beth had been keeping from him.

As Libby and Oliver work together, they uncover ancient legends, pirate wrecks, betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.

Goodreads review by Deanne

The Nature Of A Lady is the first in the new Secrets of The Isles Book. Libby doesn't exactly fit the expected rules of society that are set in 1906. She is more than happy to escape to Isles of Scilly as her lady's maid Mabena suggests. There she can avoid her brother's attempts to marry her off and......more
