"A swoon-worthy, thoughtful Christian romance in which two haunted people learn self-acceptance and trust." - Foreword Reviews In the eyes of London Society, Gillian Phelps is suitable enough. Though the ton whispers about her change of residence, any speculation remains just that: ballroom gossip. No one―not even the other Huntresses, the group of ladies she calls her dearest friends―knows that she is harboring a devastating family secret. Gillian has become adept at hiding the reality of her circumstances, but the close quarters of a house party will test her ability to conceal the crushing truth. And with so many people to deceive, the late arrival of another guest is a most unwelcome surprise. Despite his standing as a gentleman of the ton, in truth, Scott Sarvol possesses little more than two debt-riddled estates. When an opportunity arises to survey one of his properties, he travels north, only to find himself an unwitting guest at Artemis Jonquil’s house party. He is warmly welcomed by all―except the aloof Miss Gillian Phelps. But when Scott proves himself unexpectedly helpful in a crisis, his acquaintance with Gillian shifts from wariness to something warmer. As both her charade and her feelings for Scott deepen, Gillian realizes that the truth could spell not only a devastating fall from Society but also a shattered heart. Sarah M. Eden’s The Best Intentions is book one of the Huntresses Series. Gillian Phelps knows that her standing in society is on shaky ground. She may have the huntresses and Artemis as her closest and dearest friends but a devastating secret can quickly destroy her and her family’s reputation. She is wary and careful when she meets Scott Sarvol at her first house party. Scott realizes immediately Miss Phelps's discomfort with him and assures her that he is a decent person and she has nothing to fear from him. Eventually, Gillian warms to him but as her feelings for the handsome gentleman go deeper, she realizes that she has more to lose than she initially thought. Sarah M. Eden creates the perfect historical society setting in her novel Best Intentions. The first book of the Huntresses Series is filled with intrigue, gossip, and the usually complicated machinations and silently agreed-upon rules that every noble must follow not to be shunned or looked down upon by high society. This historical romance took me on an unforgettable ride. In this historical timeframe, I bore witness to the blossoming love between Gillian and Scott. I have also experienced Gillian's heartache and fear as she tried her best to fit in with society and hide the secret that could change how everyone sees her. There is a classical feel to this story that called to me and I was helplessly drawn in by the amazing, distinctive characters, the smooth plot, and the beautifully described setting. Best Intentions charmed me with its exceptionally detailed story-telling and allowed me into a world I have only ever dreamed of. --Readers' Favorite five-star review A masterfully woven tale of an impossible love match historical fans will eagerly devour! --InD'Tale Magazine In unforgiving nineteenth-century London society, people find strength through their shared struggles in Sarah M.
