England, 1867 - a game of chance and a property lost. Who could have known what the consequences would be? Fifteen years later, Louisa Campbell, living in genteel poverty in Dublin, Ireland, is more than surprised to learn that she is the new owner of Bowes Farm. When she arrives in England, she discovers that her nearest neighbour, Nicholas Maxwell, wishes to continue a vicious feud over her land and that the uncle she has inherited from was not what he seemed. When a Fenian bombing campaign comes close to home, Louisa finds herself a prime suspect and must do all she can to protect herself. But who is really orchestrating the Fenians' activities? Will Louisa have the courage to solve the mysteries that Bowes Farm holds? And most importantly of all, will she ever be able to trust and love the man who is surely her sworn enemy? -- back cover.

Louisa’s determination from the start was admirable. She wanted nothing more than to provide a healthy home for her ailing sister. She refused to allow Nicholas Maxwell’s suspicions, accusations, and cold manner to sway her. Nicholas’ attitude is easy to understand as well, even if it became tiresome.
Some plot points were rather easy to guess at, but there is a deeper mystery that kept me guessing. The romance was a bit unbelievable given the antagonism on both sides through the majority of the novel. Why would either one fall in love with such angry words and behaviors?
Overall, it was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it to readers looking for a historical novel with a strong heroine. I was given a copy for reviewing purposes. ( )
