To escape her mothers meddlesome influence, she dreams of traveling with her spinster aunt to exotic India. But when the opportunity arises, Kate finds herself making a bargain with her mother: she will be allowed to go only if she spends a season at the familys wealthy estate, Blackmoore, where she must secure and reject three marriage proposals. Enlisting the help of her dearest childhood friend, Henry Delafield, Kate sets out to collect her proposals so she can be on her way.

With hints of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, Blackmoore is a page-turning tale of romance, intrigue, and devotion.

Review "Admirers of Austen, Gaskell, and the Brontë sisters will enjoy this light tale of romance set in the early nineteenth century...Donaldson can turn a phrase... Blackmoore is light and easy to read, perfect for a day at the beach or over tea and crumpets served in the best china."--ForeWord Reviews -- "ForeWord Reviews""Bestselling author Julianne Donaldson delivers another passionate Regency-era romance, full of sizzling tension and unconsummated love. The windswept moors, ocean-battered cliffs, and dark and mysterious passages of Blackmoore are a perfect backdrop for a Gothic-inspired romance. Fans of Little Women andNorthanger Abbey will enjoy the focus on the changing nature of friendship and importance of family connections."-- "Historical Novel Society""Donaldsons second Regency romance (after Edenbrooke) is riveting and evocative. . . .
