In 1889 England, Eva Inman finds herself overwhelmed with responsibility. Haunted by guilt over her parents' deaths, Eva struggles to care for her blind sister and manage her family's crumbling estate. With the threat of overdue taxes looming, Eva's situation grows dire until an ancient silver ring is unearthed on her property. Despite local superstitions warning against disturbing the supposedly cursed acres, Eva's need for funds forces her to consider the potential of more buried relics. She turns to Bram Webb, a Cambridge professor of Roman antiquities, for help—only to be reminded of a past she would rather forget.
Bram Webb is under immense pressure to find proof of a legendary Christian Roman settlement in an attempt to conceal his uncle's deteriorating memory from the Trinity College disciplinary board and save both of their jobs. When Eva steps into Bram's office, old sparks fly, rekindling memories that are both fond and painful. The excavation is fraught with challenges from the start, and as Eva and Bram work together with time running out, they must confront their pasts, face the growing attraction between them, and decide whether their love is strong enough to overcome the buried truths that threaten to tear them apart.
Award-winning author Michelle Griep transports you to Victorian-era England with a gripping romance.

MY THOUGHTS.....
I loved this book! I was invited into a Victorian world filled with guilt, secrets, and superstition, and I was captivated until the very satisfying end! Of Silver and Secrets has flawless writing, well-developed characters, and an intriguing plot centered around an archaeological dig in 1889. Eva Inman and Bram Webb are old acquaintances who enter into an uneasy alliance plagued by past hurts, humorous bickering, and a growing attraction between them! Can you understand my fascination with this story?
I've been fortunate to read several of Michelle Griep's books, and I'm always entertained, educated, and inspired! Of Silver and Secrets is a mesmerizing drama filled with mystery, history, second chances, and faith. I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian romance.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I chose the latter. Way cheaper. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write...except for that graffiti phase I went through as a teenager. Oops. Did I say that out loud?
