Hannah Linder is our guest on Christian Historical Fiction Talk this week, and I’m so pleased to welcome her. She’s new to traditional publishing and is making a splash. We have a great chat about what Gothic Regency romance is, which is her favorite Jane Austen book, and what it’s like to live in a house chock-full of history. She also collects historical clothing. What more could you want in a historical fiction author?

Beneath His Silence by Hannah Linder

Will Seeking Justice Lead to Her Own Demise?

A Gothic-Style Regency Romance from a Promising Young Author

Second daughter of a baron—and a little on the mischievous side—Ella Pemberton is no governess. But the pretense is a necessity if she ever wishes to get inside of Wyckhorn Manor and attain the truth. Exposing the man who killed her sister is all that matters.

Lord Sedgewick knows there’s blood on his hands. Lies have been conceived, then more lies, but the price of truth would be too great. All he has left now is his son—and his hatred. Yet as the charming governess invades his home, his safe cocoon of bitterness begins to tear away.

Could Ella, despite the lingering questions of his guilt, fall in love with such a man? Or is she falling prey to him—just as her dead sister?
