Clementine Pennington is mourning the loss of her beloved protector, Lady Agatha Moorland when the lady’s vicious son tosses her out of the home she has lived for the past fifteen years. Near penniless and without references, Clementine despairs of finding honest work. She has been raised a lady though she is not of the class; a strike against her. Another strike is the fact that, at twentyseven she is still quite beautiful. Answering an ad for a housekeeper turns out to be a blessing and a curse for Clementine.

Lord Alexander Silverton, solicitor and Eighth Earl of Chatham, is impressed with the young woman despite the fact that she has no references or experience as housekeeper. He has other plans for Clementine; to be Lord Denby’s next wife. Never mind the fact she intrigues him, he must think of his friend first.

Silverton is determined to keep Clementine with Denby; she is a strong woman who will get Denby back on his feet and on the way to a more quality life. Perhaps Denby will play the piano again. When Appington the fanatical monk living in the Denby household is discovered to be abusing the children and Denby, Clementine has no choice but to transport them to safety, but what will happen when Appington catches up to them?

Isabel Scott’s skillfully woven story of mystery, love and danger will keep readers briskly turning pages to see what the outcome is. CLEMENTINE is a fine example of the gothic thriller; with chilling undertones, an innocent heroine and a maniacal villain. Don’t miss this one.
