Thornberry Manor: The Emerald

NOVEL, HISTORICAL ROMANCE FICTION: BOOK #1

Love gives Paisley Venne the slip after she catches her fiancé in another not-so-discreet indiscretion that breaks her heart all over again. She finds focus and purpose when a letter arrives informing her mum she’s inherited Thornberry Manor in central England. It’s a welcome distraction and the perfect restoration project.


Anxious to visit, she explores the neglected manor and discovers a peculiar necklace in an antique wardrobe. When she slips it over her head, she is transported to the year 1829 where she visits with her fascinating ancestors and meets a famous author.


When the stone in the necklace is damaged, Paisley regretfully accepts the experience as an illogical fluke and sees no reason to share her secret with her mum or new boyfriend, Finlay. But questions continue to swirl in Paisley’s mind. How had the impossible happened? Could it happen again?

What They Are Saying

“Anne K. Hawkinson weaves the mundane with the magical in this dual timeline tale. A love story blossoms. A family chronicle emerges rather mysteriously. I was sorry it ended so soon and look forward to the next book in the series.” –Amazon Review 

“Thornberry Manor is full of mystery, reveals, and surprises. The plot features unexpected twists and turns that make you want to know more and discover how the mystery will be resolved. Additionally, Hawkinson's character work is brilliant. The relationship dynamics are so interesting, primarily due to the entertaining conversations between the different characters. The dialogue is light-hearted and laced with humor. I especially enjoyed the interactions featuring Paisley, Molly, and Finlay. The ending leaves the mystery of the necklace a bit ambiguous, but I felt it suited the story's tone. Lastly, the narrative is well-paced, which makes the book a pleasure to read. Fans of romance and time-travel adventures will have a blast with this novel.”
