The Lost Ring

About the Book

The growing relationship between Queen Victoria and John Brown is interwoven with the modern-day romance of widow Vicky and widower John Brown. When a ring is found in a loch on the Balmoral estate, Vicky is helped by John Brown to find its provenance. Their respective adult children are wary of the relationship: Vicky’s, because they suspect John of being a gold digger, and John’s daughter, because of her close possessive relationship with her father. They are all drawn together by a family trauma which brings with it dark suspicions. It is a family dilemma for each one of them. Do they keep quiet and forget what they have seen or do they expose it? Or will it be resolved another way?
