This is the last book of the Beckets of Romney Marsh series and I would recommend reading earlier books first or you could find this one very confusing as most of the story and characters are based on earlier novels. I wish there had been a family tree in this and each preceeding book as it would help to keep all the adopted Becket children and their spouses straight. Each book in the series is about one of the Becket children finding love and the deadly secrets the family hides. This last book takes a twist in the romance angle and the youngest Becket child is in love with the eldest, but fortunately all the children are not related by blood. Even though Courtland is not Cassandra's blood brother, she has been raised and lived with all her father's adopted children and Courtland has known her since the day of her birth. I find that a bit too incestuous and unbelievable that a man who is 13 years her senior would be in love with someone he has been looking out for and living with since she was born 18 years before. Apart from tne love story, the culmination of the family's secrets and their hiding out on Romney Marsh for 18 years ends with treachery and excitement and each member is finally free to go their own way and live their own lives.
