A poignant Regency romance full of secrets and a love worth fighting for from bestselling author Jane Ashford. This heart of mine cannot be mended... Peter Rathbone, Duke of Compton, is mourning the loss of his sister Delia, but the work of keeping his family's deteriorating estate afloat is never done. When Miss Ada Grandison, a close friend of his sister, arrives with a mysterious letter that she claims holds the secret to saving the family home, Peter is skeptical to say the least...and his life is about to get even more complicated. This one is mine to help heal... Ada is eager to do whatever she can to help the Rathbones. She brings clues that Delia claimed would change everything for the family and that lead Ada and Peter on a hunt to unravel the past. But they'll have to face their painful memories-and their true feelings for each other-to discover the truth.

Reviews

"Complex characters, subtle romance, and all the sparkling wit and flirtatious banter of a Georgette Heyer novel." - Publishers Weekly
"An effervescent Regency romantic mystery brings a decrepit estate to life." - Kirkus Reviews
"Ashford continues this sweet Regency series (after How to Cross a Marquess) with an irresistible love story." - Library Journal
"Superbly executed...Regency historical deftly composed of a charmingly rendered romance, a cast of imperfectly perfect characters, an exciting treasure hunt, a generous dollop of dry wit, and a thoughtful exploration of grief as well as the essential roles family and friendship play in life." - Booklist
