The lady of the hall
(Book)

In Book Two of the Eden Hall series, Minty has inherited her beloved Eden Hall--and a host of problems. The villagers depend on the Hall for their livelihood, but there is no money to keep the massive Hall open. Members of her step-family do their utmost to undermine her reputation, and some of the staff at the Hall are up to no good. Everyone has high expectations for Minty but she is too inexperienced to avoid all the pitfalls in her new life. To make matters worse, Patrick, her true love, is having doubts about their future together. They both must learn how to forgive those who have damaged them in the past, even when those same people still have the power to destroy them.
