About this ebook

MERRYWOOD HALL
Shy and unworldly, Tom Archer has only known the quiet life of a footman at Merrywood Hall. He has certainly never known true love. Jack Curtis is rough and rugged, a streetwise lad from the workhouse. He’s too guarded to let anyone in. They shouldn’t fit together. And at first they don’t — Tom doesn’t how to handle the Jack, the new groom who refuses to be deferential to the noble Merrywood family. But their intense, sensual attraction to each other can’t be denied. It spills over one night in the hay barn, where both men are caught during a tempestuous storm.

But as servants at the Hall, pursuing their love isn’t easy for Tom and Jack. The Honourable Edward Merrywood, son and heir to the vast estate, is a bitter and arrogant man possessed by an obsessive desire for Tom, and he isn’t prepared to see him belong to anyone else. Determined to keep the lovers apart, Edward is willing to go to any lengths, including murder, to make sure he can keep Tom to himself. It’s an obsession that haunts all three men for years, from the aristocratic world of an English country mansion to the muddy trenches of the Great War.

From the author of Dream Lover and Carver’s Cove comes a historical romance about the battles fought in the name of love. Merrywood Hall is a heart—wrenching story of desire and jealousy, of obsession and survival.
