Hollanders House is the compelling story of one woman’s struggle to understand the many faces of love.
Wealthy, impetuous and the apple of her father’s eye, Isabel Hollander lives a privileged life in the family home in Kent, England. But beyond the grounds of Hollander House, the atmosphere is very different: with Napoleon threatening to invade, there is a tense recklessness spreading through the smuggler country of the Romney Marshes.
Against this atmospheric backdrop, Isabel’s life is transformed when her father invites her cousin to stay. Recently invalided out of the Navy, Tom is disciplined and reserved, his character completely at odds with Isabel’s high-spirited nature. But in Tom, her father sees an ideal match for Isabel and for the continuation of the family estate.
In marriage Isabel is restrained, her ardour cooled as her happiness gives way to resignation. But then, as the Marshes become Britain’s frontline and troops pour in, Isabel finds her passion ignited by a young army captain.
With its vivid cast of characters and atmospheric historical setting, Hollanders House is the perfect read for fans of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer.
The first book in Juliet Dymoke’s acclaimed Hollander Trilogy.
Genre: Historical Romance
