Each one is better than the last! The world Ms. Oh, faithful reader, I am very much enjoying the Spindle Cove books. But if she really is a lady, how can she find love with a soldier? So the Grammercys decided to investigate and the investigation led to Kate.Īll Kate has ever wanted is to have a family and suddenly she does! But there are still mysteries to unravel – where did her mother go, after her father died? And what happened to her? How did Kate end up alone? And what about Thorne? Kate has finally seen glimpses of the man behind the uniform and very much likes what she sees – even if he is resistant. Until a portrait of her was found…a very pregnant her. Then, suddenly, the cousin was dead, the farmer’s daughter had disappeared, and no one knew what had happened and didn’t really care. Apparently, a cousin fell inappropriately in love with a farmer’s daughter and set up housekeeping with her, ignoring the histrionics of the family. The Grammercys – brother Evan( Lord Drewe), sisters Lark and Harriet, and Aunt Marmoset (not her real name) – have come to town because they suspect Kate is part of their family. Which (mostly) works fine until some visitors arrive in Spindle Cove. Thorne is determined to protect Kate from anything that might hurt her – including discovering her secret past…and his feelings for her. The last thing he expected to find is a young music teacher with a distinctive birthmark – a birthmark he recognizes from his youth in the slums of London. But what happened to her mother? And who was her father? And how did she end up alone in an orphanage? Surely someone knows something about her past.Ĭorporal Samuel Thorne came to Spindle Cove to help establish a local militia. Kate was raised in an orphanage and her earliest childhood memories are vague, but she knows she was with her mother for a while, at least. Miss Kate Taylor, the local music teacher, spends her free time writing letters and visiting nearby villages trying to find out her family history.
