The Major and The Country Miss by Dorothy Elbury
Major William Maitland is a war hero whose only wish is to return home to his beloved England. When his uncle dies in Peru, he is left in charge of an estate and with a myriad of responsibilities. But while Maitland assumes control of the manor house he becomes embroiled in a Hamilton family secret that threatens to wreak havoc both professionally and personally.
In rural Warwickshire he comes across Georgianne, a mysterious young woman working at the nearby parsonage who is equally as entrenched in her own web of deceit as Maitland finds himself entombed in his own. Georgianne is the cousin of Will's long-lost army buddy and it seems their mutual friend may hold the key to solving the ancient mystery Maitland has been thrust into. Scenarios develop and enemies become allies as Will and Georgianne each discover they might just want to marry the other - between heart-stopping obstacles and mesmerizing intrigues neither is willing to give up the fight.
