Mount Royal Volume I by Mary Elizabeth Braddon ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

Mount Royal Volume I by Mary Elizabeth Braddon audiobook.

Genre: mystery

At Mount Royal, an old manor perched above the Cornish coast near Boscastle, Christabel Courtenay has grown up sheltered, clever, and restlessly romantic under the watchful care of her aunt, Mrs. Tregonell. The household runs on memories: Mrs. Tregonell still cherishes the story of Captain Hamleigh, the widower she loved and lost, and she clings just as fiercely to her absent son Leonard, a charismatic heir whose wild youth and reckless temper have been forgiven again and again. When Mrs. Tregonell invites Captain Hamleigh's son, Angus Hamleigh, to visit, Christabel's quiet world tilts. Angus arrives not as a hearty country sportsman, but as an accomplished, world-weary man of the town, drawn to Mount Royal by sentiment and the faint hope of peace. Between Christabel's quickening curiosity, Jessie Bridgeman's sharp-eyed counsel, and Mrs. Tregonell's private determination to secure Christabel's future in the family, every conversation begins to feel like a test. In Volume I, Braddon threads romance with unease as old attachments, whispered reputations, and the pressure of duty gather around a young woman forced to decide what love should cost.
