Posey's Peril

Beschreibung

Posey Barclay's family fortune hangs by a thread, with vengeful stockholders circling like vultures. Her only hope is brilliant lawyer Silas Williams-the man she once refused to marry. But when Silas abruptly abandons her case, Posey realizes sinister forces are at work, ones that could cost them both everything Sydney, 1868: As vengeful stockholders threaten to strip everything from Posey Barclay and her family, only one man stands between them and ruin-the brilliant and principled lawyer, Silas Williams. But when a newly appointed judge with a mysterious connection to Silas's past arrives, bringing with him long-buried secrets of murder and revenge, everything she holds dear is at risk. As Posey delves deeper, she uncovers a web of blackmail that forces Silas to choose between winning her case and protecting her life. At the center of it all lies a haunting painting of a murdered young girl-a key to the past that Silas refuses to discuss. With powerful adversaries closing in, Posey must unravel the truth and decide if her growing feelings for Silas are strong enough to overcome the forces determined to tear them apart. Set against the glittering backdrop of Gold Rush-era Sydney, Posey's Peril is a thrilling murder mystery romance, second book in the enthralling Sisters of Barclay Square historical mystery series. This historical mystery celebrates the resilience of the female spirit and the power of unexpected love, perfect for fans of action-packed historical drama, deep family secrets, and wholesome second-chance romance.
