The Messenger of Measham Hall (Book 2)

Subterfuge is a way of life for Nicholas Hawthorne, Catholic heir to Measham Hall in Derbyshire. Practising a banned religion is dangerous but the family is harbouring secrets that are even darker. Why is Sir William, Nicholas’ father, so reclusive? What became of his mother, and his aunt Alethea? Who fatally betrayed his cousin Matthew? Nicholas is determined to find the answers, but finding the truth won’t be easy. As England slides towards invasion by the Protestant forces of Prince William of Orange, Nicholas becomes entangled in conspiracies in King James’ court…and discovers that love comes at a high price!
