In an idyllic village nestled in the English countryside, photographer Georgia Brooks is desperate to begin a new chapter in her life. Bramble Cottage was supposed to give her space to heal and hope again after suffering betrayal and rejection by the only man she ever loved. This was Georgia’s chance to rekindle her faith and reconnect with her sisters in a place that held sweet childhood memories—not expose herself to the ugly underbelly of the art world and put her family in danger.
Local pediatric surgeon, Doctor William Hughes, is captivated by the Canadian beauty with a camera over one shoulder and the weight of the world on the other. After suffering his own tragic loss and balancing a demanding career with raising a toddler, he recognizes the heaviness of grief . . . and the burden of guilt.
When Georgia discovers she could be in possession of incriminating evidence to frame a criminal ring, she needs to trust someone. She chooses Will. Postcards, photographs, paintings—something about Bramble Cottage is worth killing for. Can Georgia uncover the truth in time?

Bramble Cottage, with its quaint allure, serves as the perfect setting for Georgia’s journey from heartache to hope as she stumbles upon dangerous secrets hidden in her peaceful surroundings.
What immediately struck me about this novel is the way each character is painted with such depth and authenticity. Georgia's vulnerability and resilience are perfectly balanced, making her a heroine that feels both relatable and admirable. Her interactions with Doctor William Hughes, a local pediatric surgeon grappling with his own grief, are filled with genuine emotion and moments of sweet connection.

The plot is intricately woven with elements of suspense that keep the reader guessing. The mystery surrounding Bramble Cottage and the incriminating evidence Georgia stumbles upon adds a layer of tension that is expertly sustained. As Georgia and Will delve deeper into secrets, the stakes rise, and the danger becomes ever more palpable.
One of the highlights of Captured in Frame is the perfect integration of faith into the story. The spiritual journey of the characters is tender and enduring, adding a rich, reflective dimension to the narrative. Quotes like, "Was God still able to shine His glorious Light through the fragments of her brokenness?" and "When we come to the end of ourselves and remember He’s sovereign. He sees all and knows all. It’s the only way I’ve been able to get through the storms in my life," beautifully encapsulate the theme of finding strength and redemption through faith.
The picturesque Bramble Cottage, with its sweet childhood memories and hidden dangers, serves as the ideal backdrop. The contrast between the serene village and the peril lurking beneath its surface adds an engaging complexity to the story.
Captured in Frame combines romance, suspense, and faith into a cohesive and compelling tale. The heartfelt prayers and references to God throughout the book are presented with a sense of reverence and sincerity, making the spiritual aspect of the story both powerful and uplifting.
