The Curiosity Keeper by Sarah E Ladd
This Regency romance from beloved author Sarah E. Ladd brings together a wealthy heir and a mysterious young woman as they search for secrets behind a missing a ruby. Set in the same time period as Pride and Prejudice, this is the perfect read for fans of Sarah M. Eden and Emma M. Lion. Jonathan Gilchrist never wanted to inherit Kettering Hall. A second son, he was content to work as the village apothecary. But when his brother's death made him heir just as his father's foolish decisions put the estate at risk, only the sale of a priceless possession--a ruby called the Bevoy--can save the family from ruin. But the gem has disappeared. And all trails lead to Iverness Curiosity Shop--and the beautiful shop girl who may be the answer to his many questions. Camille Iverness can take care of herself. She's done so since the day her mother abandoned the family and left Camille to run their shabby curiosity shop. But when a violent betrayal leaves her injured with no place to hide, Camille must allow a mysterious stranger to come to her aid. Caught at the intersection of blessings and curses, greed and deceit, these two determined souls must unite to protect what they hold dear. But when a love that shines far brighter than any gem is ignited, they will have to decide how much they are willing to risk for their future, love, and happiness. Step into a richly woven Regency world where intrigue, adventure, and a tender romance will keep you turning pages late into the night. If you're craving a captivating escape with just the right blend of suspense and heart, this unforgettable journey of love, trust, and redemption is not to be missed.
