Publisher: Mirror Press

Genre: Clean Historical Romance

Evelyn Tucker has finally graduated from finishing school, but dreads living with her widowed aunt. On the appointed day, Aunt Margaret comes to collect Evelyn, and Margaret informs her that they’re going on a Grand Tour to spend as much of the estate money they can before a distant cousin inherits all. When Henry Gaiman discovers he’s inherited his distant uncle’s estate, he loathes the thought of returning to England since he’d rather continue with his archaeology dig in Egypt. Return he must, and there, he meets Evelyn, a woman who will change his world in more ways than one.

My Review 💛


Absolutely charming!!

A Secret Arrangement is so well developed that it is hard to believe it is a novella!  It has all the ingredients for the perfect story: unexpected adventures, characters that you can't help but be enamored by, dazzling imagery that truly transports you to the sands of Egypt, and the perfect balance of drama and lighthearted whimsy.

The shared love of history is a passion that binds me to both Henry and Evelyn, making this read all the more pleasurable.  I cannot tell you enough how much I loved this story, and would love to have more stories from these characters in the future.  A novella is way too short of a time to spend with these delightful people!

The perfect length, plus the enjoyable story, makes this another favorite of mine for this summer.

My Rating: ★★★★
