In 1895, Annie “Belle” Wellington settles into Adams House, the bustling Charles City boarding house she helps manage alongside its warm‑hearted owner, Amanda Adams. But the genteel rhythm of boarding‑house life is shattered when a mysterious death, a brutal assault, and long‑buried secrets begin to surface within its walls.
Amid the turmoil, Belle’s heart is unexpectedly stirred by Amanda’s cousin, Jason—especially after a magical dance with him at her family’s annual Spring Ball. Yet danger and deception linger close, threatening the fragile hope blossoming between them.
As Sheriff Bob and Belle’s brother, Bertie, take up the investigation, the question looms: who is responsible for the unspeakable acts haunting Adams House? This gripping Wellington tale blends romance, suspense, and Southern intrigue into a story that keeps you turning pages.
Reviews
"Belle Wellington is a resourceful woman who wants to live life on her terms. She doesn't want to be a sheltered and pampered lady which is why she moved out of her family's plantation and into the boarding house where she works. Amanda needs her help. Life takes a dark turn when Amanda is assaulted and a male boarder is found dead. Jason, Amanda's cousin, is there to take care of both ladies. Can Belle trust him? I liked Belle. She's feisty and determined to take care of business. Jason is a good man who has been scarred by his past. The attraction between them is evident. I wanted a HEA. I, also, wanted the person responsible for these crimes brought to justice. I enjoyed Wellington Belle. It had likeable characters, a sweet romance and a suspenseful mystery. Cheryl R. Lane has an easy writing style that I enjoyed. This book was the perfect way to relax." ~Five stars
