Lady Elizabeth "Libby" Sinclair, with her love of microscopes and nature, isn't favored in society. She flees to the beautiful Isles of Scilly for the summer and stumbles into the dangerous secrets left behind by her holiday cottage's former occupant, also named Elizabeth, who mysteriously vanished.
Oliver Tremayne--gentleman and clergyman--is determined to discover what happened to his sister, and he's happy to accept the help of the girl now living in what should have been Beth's summer cottage . . . especially when he realizes it's the curious young lady he met briefly two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology. But the hunt for his sister involves far more than nature walks, and he can't quite believe all the secrets Beth had been keeping from him.
As Libby and Oliver work together, they find ancient legends, pirate wrecks, betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.
My Thoughts
I was excited to read "The Nature of a Lady". I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and didn't want to put it down. I liked the characters and watching the changes that they made in their lives. I loved Mamm-wynn. There were biblical truths taught throughout the book. I could imagine I was on the islands and see all the beauty and wonder all around. The mystery surrounding Beth's disappearance was a little of what I expected, and not at the same time. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
