"Difficult" because Clive has neglected to tell Henrietta that he is in fact the heir to the Howard estate and fortune, and Henrietta has just discovered that her mother has been hiding secrets about her past as well. When Clive brings Henrietta to the family estate to meet his parents, they are less than enthused about his impoverished intended. Left alone in this extravagant new world when Clive returns to the city, Henrietta finds herself more at home with the servants than his family, much to the disapproval of Mrs. Howard--and soon gets caught up in the disappearance of an elderly servant's ring, not realizing that in doing so she has become part of a bigger, darker plot. <p/>As Clive and Henrietta attempt to discover the truth in the two very different worlds unraveling around them, they both begin to wonder: Are they meant for each other after all?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Awards: <br><b>2021 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY Awards): Gold Winner in Book Series - Fiction<br> 2017 Next Gen indies: Romance Finalist, Mystery Finalist, Best Series Finalist<br> 2017 Readers Favorite: Honorable Mention - Mystery <br> 2018 National Indie Excellence Awards: Regional Fiction Finalist - Midwest <br> 2018 Independent Press Award: Romantic Suspense Winner<br> 2018 Chanticleer Book Awards: Mystery and Mayhem - 1st Place Winner, Historical Fiction (Goethe) Finalist, and Romance (Chatelaine) Finalist <br> 2018 Independent Press Award: Winner in Romantic Suspense <br> 2017 Beverly Hills Book Awards: Regional Fiction Winner - Northeast, Cross-Genre Finalist, and Mystery Finalist <br> 2017 Chicago Writers Association Awards: Shortlisted for Indie Fiction <br> 2017-2018 Reader Views Literary Awards: Adult Fiction Finalists </b> <p/> "Henrietta and Inspector Howard make <b>a charming odd couple</b> in <i>A Ring of Truth</i>, <b>mixing mystery and romance in a fizzy 1930s cocktail.</b>" ― Hallie Ephron, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <p/> "<b>The crème de la crème of historical fiction</b>, <i>A Ring of Truth</i> is the unpredictable mystery you'll be reading and rereading for the rest of 2017." ― Brit+Co <p/> "Brimming with dark plot on every page, this <b>unpredictable literary thrill ride</b> will transport you to the heart of 1930s Chicago and the love story of a lifetime." ― Popsugar <p/> "<b>There's a lot to love about the bloodhound couple</b> at the center of this cozy mystery." ―<i>Foreword Reviews</i> <p/> "The second book of this mystery series is laced with <b>fiery romance so delicious every reader will struggle to put it down.</b> If you devoured <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>, this love story will get your heart beating just as fast." ―<i>Redbook</i> <p/> "A 1930s Chicagoan love story with <b>a heavy dose of thrilling mystery</b> - we bet we have your attention.
