Love and Turmoil

by Luanna Stewart

Six months after burying her wastrel husband, Lady Arabella Woodbridge has resigned herself to a lonely life in the countryside with only her two adopted nieces for company. Being a young, respectable widow is – frustrating. Then the charming and wickedly handsome Samuel Payn takes up residence in the neighboring manor house. Retired explorer and occasional pirate Samuel Payn is on a two-fold mission – retrieve buried loot, and locate the father who abandoned his mother to a life of poverty. But a gang of murderous villains is also after the buried treasure. And someone is threatening to tear apart the lovely widow’s family. Will Sam’s single-minded determination to uncover his true identity threaten Arabella’s happiness - and his life?

This is the second book by Luanna i have read & would say she has done a good job... This story is about Arabella who was a secondary Character in Luanna 's 1st book " Love & Mayhem " .

Lady Arabella is alone after the death of wastrel, drunk husband is dead taking care of her adopted nieces... she is depressed ,sad of making a bad decision of marrying a wrong man thinking it love ... she is resigned to a lonely life in the countryside but being a young , respectable widow is difficult & frustrating...

Her life changes wen she meets Samuel Payn ,who is a retired explorer ,occasional pirate . He engages Arabella's help in trying to locate his father who had heartlessly abandoned his mother ....also he wants to find a buried treasure ..

The story is about this two characters of how they work together against all odds & find love... once again the pace is fast ...well presentedstory....well developed plot ...
