The Heiress of Winterwood, written by Sarah E. Ladd, is Book One in the Whispers On The Moors series. An excerpt from the back cover: Amelia Barrett, heiress to an estate nestled in the English moors, defies family expectations and promises to raise her dying friend's baby. She'll risk everything to keep her word - even to the point of proposing to the child's father - a sea captain she's never met.
The storyline was interesting; the time is 1814 in England and young Amelia promises to raise baby Lucy after the baby's mother dies. The father, Captain Graham Sterling, has been out to sea and returns when Lucy is nine months old. Amelia is so attached to Lucy by this time that she proposes to Graham when they first meet so she can always be with Lucy. The book was fairly fast paced and had some twists the kept the storyline moving. However I thought the ending was predictable. I still enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to others.
Disclosure: I received this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
