Welcome to the blog blitz & giveaway for Lady of a Thousand Treasures by Sandra Byrd, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

lady of a thousand treasuresTitle: Lady of a Thousand Treasures
Author: Sandra Byrd
Publisher: Tyndale House
Release Date: October 9, 2018
Genre: Historical/Gothic Romance

Miss Eleanor Sheffield is a talented evaluator of antiquities, trained to know the difference between a genuine artifact and a fraud. But with her father’s passing and her uncle’s decline into dementia, the family business is at risk. In the Victorian era, unmarried Eleanor cannot run Sheffield Brothers alone.

The death of a longtime client, Baron Lydney, offers an unexpected complication when Eleanor is appointed the temporary trustee of the baron’s legendary collection. She must choose whether to donate the priceless treasures to a museum or allow them to pass to the baron’s only living son, Harry—the man who broke Eleanor’s heart.

Eleanor distrusts the baron’s motives and her own ability to be unbiased regarding Harry’s future. Harry claims to still love her and Eleanor yearns to believe him, but his mysterious comments and actions fuel her doubts. When she learns an Italian beauty accompanied him on his return to England, her lingering hope for a future with Harry dims.

With the threat of debtor’s prison closing in, Eleanor knows that donating the baron’s collection would win her favor among potential clients, saving Sheffield Brothers. But the more time she spends with Harry, the more her faith in him grows. Might Harry be worthy of his inheritance, and her heart, after all? As pressures mount and time runs out, Eleanor must decide whom she can trust—who in her life is false or true, brass or gold—and what is meant to be treasured.

EXCERPT

My stomach lurched. “I am to decide if Harry is dis-inherited or not?”

Sir Matthew grimaced as I mistakenly used that familiar name. “Harry? There is no engagement, is there? His father was given to believe . . .”

I shook my head. “There is no arrangement.” That had become clear when he’d promised to return by early last spring but did not return for six months more, and then, I’d since learned, with a Venetian beauty in tow.

“You have no professional contracts with the South Kensington, either?” Sir Matthew asked. “It would be best if, during the period of trusteeship, you have no personal or professional understanding with either party which could call your objectivity into question.”

I shook my head again. I could but wish that Sheffield Brothers had a professional arrangement with the budding museum or its supporters.

    I just realized that I have read a couple of the author’s books before: To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn and The Secret Keeper: A Novel of Kateryn Parr. They were excellent. I have added Lady of a Thousand Treasures to my TBR list.
