About the author
Eva Lyndale
59 books6 followersEva Lyndale is a historical fiction author and lifelong explorer whose curiosity has carried her to more than forty countries. Her writing blends meticulous historical research with vivid storytelling, offering readers a window into distant eras and the lives shaped within them.
From crumbling coastal ruins to bustling cities layered with centuries of change, the places Eva visits often spark the settings for her novels. She is especially drawn to overlooked moments in history—those quiet, human stories that unfold in the shadows of larger events. Through richly drawn characters and immersive environments, her work explores themes of connection, transformation, and the passage of time.
Eva approaches each project with the mind of a researcher and the heart of a traveler, weaving cultural detail and atmospheric depth into every page. When she’s not writing, she can often be found exploring local archives, wandering through museums, or sketching story notes in a tucked-away café somewhere new.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Received this ARC in exchange for a review.
I completely enjoyed the way that humour was used in the phrases used by the characters, especially earlier in the book before the situation became much more serious.
The two grandmothers negotiate a fake engagement for their particular reasons: hers to escape a marriage deadline imposed by her uncle and his to reintroduce him into Society after having spent time away in the War and inheriting the title upon the death of a cousin (may have missed what happened to his parents).
They agree to particular behaviors in public to make the engagement look, legitimate, and begin the performance. Unexpectedly they develop feelings for each other.
Underlying dishonesty and secrets from others cause a fair amount of upheaval, leading to much concern and danger.
Overall, a well done book. This author has written other books that I have also enjoyed, but this one is the beginning of a new series. I look forward to seeing where the characters will go from here.
