Death Be Not Proud

'"It would be so easy just to stay there, submerged and warm where the world couldn't touch me and I would't have to face tomorrow, or the next day, or the next. So easy. To let go. Painless. Quick."' Following the vicious attack that nearly killed her and reeling from the discovery that mysterious Matthew Lynes - the man with whom she has inadvertently and irresistibly fallen in love - is lying, historian, Emma D'Eresby flees the college in Maine for her ancient home town in England. With her she carries a precious Seventeenth-century journal and the secrets bound within its pages. Once home, she comes to terms with a shattering revelation, and, just when she thinks she has the answers, faces a future where past and present collide. Set in England and in Maine, USA and steeped in history and atmosphere, Death Be Not Proud - the second book of The Secret Of The Journal series - continues the romantic mystery begun in Mortal Fire as Emma and Matthew reveal the turbulent truth of his past. 'Dunn vividly evokes a range of characters and the tense and tender relationships between them.' Fay Sampson, award-winning author, The Hunted Hare.
