Summary

The Loner is the third in the Polvellan Mysteries, a warm-hearted series set in beautiful Cornwall.

 
When Jess Trevanion goes to deliver some plants to John Preece, a reclusive neighbour in Polvellan village, she is shocked and saddened to find him dead. When talk turns to the funeral arrangements, Jess’s sadness becomes resolve when she realises that, like herself, very few people knew the real John Preece – although he’d lived in the village for many years, his background is a mystery. Jess uses her investigative skills to research John’s family, and is surprised and horrified by what she finds out.

 
Meanwhile, Jess also discovers the story behind Marigold’s, a famous local venue, and her relationship with old flame Tom Peters continues to progress.

    Meet Death, as you have never met her before.
    Even the Birds Grow Silent is a collection of narrative fragments told by Death herself. Death feels she gets a very bad press nowadays, and is keen to tell her side of the story. From singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, to writer Virginia Woolf, to the tragic life of Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Days' Queen, Death has walked in their shadows and now, for the first time, shares her insights on them. She was there at the dawn of time, when the first cave paintings were created, and she will be with us until the end. 
    However, she does have one final surprise up her sleeve...

    A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. 
    Lord Humphrey Marford has a way with cards, dice and gambling of all forms. He’d love to start his own gaming house, but that takes a lot of money, far more than he or his brothers can come up with. His only solution is to marry an heiress, and he can’t be too choosy. 
    Miss Hortensia Blythe seems perfect - pretty, charming and very, very rich, she’s just home from India where her father made a fortune and left her every penny of it. But even as he courts the ladylike but rather dull Miss Blythe, Humphrey is drawn to her companion, who isn’t nearly so ladylike, and isn’t the slightest bit dull. Unfortunately, she’s not rich, either. Whatever is he to do? 
    Book 2 of the 5-book Sons of the Marquess series, each a complete story with a HEA, but read all of them to find out all the secrets of the Marford family!
