The Tutors Daughter by Julie Klassen
Emma Smallwood had a nemesis. Now that her mother has passed and her fathers boarding school hit hard times, they were going to the home of that very student. Her father would tutor his younger brothers at their manor. As much as she feared the older brother, she enjoyed the younger one. Perhaps neither would be home.

Henry Weston was no longer into pranks. He had responsibilities and family secrets to keep. The Smallwoods could not have arrived at their home during a worse time. Yet, he knew that Mr. Smallwood would be a good teacher for his younger step-brothers, Julian and Rowan.

This book was definitely a page turner and a book that was hard to put down. The Smallwoods arrival is not welcome, there are strange noises at night, odd occurrences, and Emma knows some of the family members are definitely hiding something.

The author keeps the reader guessing who is up to what and who can be trusted. And the characters personalities just come to life. The story takes place in Cornwall, giving insight to the dangers of ships along the rocky shores.
