The Country Cousins. Woodham, #2

She dislikes handsome and arrogant Mr Hartwell, but is he an enemy?  Miss Caroline Barnes is shocked to discover she has a secret family she's never met! Aristocratic Mr Hartwell tells her of her cousin's lonely plight, and Caroline reluctantly agrees to visit Julia at the gothic sounding Canons Grange. Her stay in the English countryside is more intriguing than she expected, with smugglers, secrets, and the dashing but mysterious Mr Bell, as well as delightful walks and a faithful if naughty dog! It would be perfect if not for the vexing Robert Hartwell, with his cryptic knowledge of details about the war and furtive nighttime activity. Could the man who, for all his sarcastic ways, she's coming to admire and even love be a traitor working for the enemy? Who should Caroline trust? With spies, the Napoleonic war, and warring siblings, The Country Cousins is a standalone romance featuring cameos of beloved characters, human and animal, from The Country Gentleman.
A sweet and clean romance perfect for fans of charmingly detailed historical romance like those by Georgette Heyer and Mimi Matthews.
