Secrets in the Snow

This is the fourth of Michaela MacColl''s Novels of Intrigue and Romance. This one is centred around Jane Austen--one of the world''s most beloved authors who lived in a time with particular appeal to historical fiction enthusiasts. Jane Austen''s family is eager to marry her off. Coming from a family of little means, it is the only way she can be assured of a comfortable future. Jane is much more interested in writing her novels and finds every suitor lacking in one way or another. That is, until the mysterious Mr. LeFoy arrives on the scene. But when her cousin is suspected in aiding the French, England''s enemy, Jane is suddenly sidetracked trying to prove her cousin''s innocence, solving a murder and ultimately facing a decision that might just cost her true love. Michaela MacColl has once again intertwined the facts of a beloved author''s real life with a suspenseful fictional tale that will not only have readers on the edges of their seats but also, like Jane, debating right versus wrong, family versus independence and duty versus love.
