A poignant story of courage and compassion in eighteenth-century Penzance.
Jessica Trenchard
is a spirited and wayward daughter – to the point that her father
Clem
is considering remarrying, to provide her with a suitable role model. Until, that is, her tender care of a speechless girl found abandoned in a field touches the heart of
Kane Pengarron
, the landlord’s eldest son.
But when Jessica’s attempts to unearth her new friend’s true identity threaten her safety, she realises that nothing is quite as it seems.
For a murderous rogue who has been terrorising Mount’s Bay for years has every reason to hate the Pengarrons…
This thrilling saga is perfect for fans of Nicola Pryce and
Poldark
.
