THE HOUSE OF STONE AND IVY by Anita Stansfield

THE HOUSE OF STONE AND IVY by Anita Stansfield. I have read several other books by Anita many years ago and had a hard time with them. However, this plot sounded really interesting so I thought I'd like to give this one a try. Unfortunately, my copy didn't arrive in time for this post, but I look forward to reading it and seeing what I think after all these years. I'll let you know! Be sure to enter to win your own copy and stop by the other reviews on the tour.

Orphaned as children, Hennie and Lottie share an unbreakable friendship. Together, they suffered the horrors of orphanages and the workhouse, and now grown, they continue to rely on each other. When Lottie approaches Hennie about a possible position at a manor house, Hennie is eager to work alongside her dear friend. However, to secure the positions as stable hands, they will have to undergo a bold act of deception: the women must disguise themselves as men.
Upon arriving at the manor, Hennie is stunned. Her new position is at Ivy Manor—the beautiful estate where her mother was employed long ago and where Hennie was raised until her mother's death. Hennie has wonderful memories of her friendship with the son of the house, Jack, and is shocked and dismayed to learn he has vanished. Living in disguise at the manor allows her to gradually uncover the truth of Jack's disappearance and eventually find him. Both Hennie and Jack are thrilled to be reunited, and their friendship is renewed. Soon, their relationship blossoms . . . and threatens their determination to remain concealed. With so much at stake, will they be prepared to risk everything for love?
