About this ebook
A sweeping debut family saga set in Cornwall in the late 1700s, following Rose Pengelly, a young woman determined to pull herself out of poverty and make her mark on the world. Cornwall, 1793: Rose Pengelly's father has been ruined—he has lost his boat yard and his fortune, plunging Rose and her mother into poverty and debt. There appears to be only one way out of their terrible circumstances; for Rose to marry Mr Tregellas, a powerful timber merchant and the man Rose believes is responsible for her father's downfall. He has made his terms clear; either she marries him or faces homelessness and destitution. Desperate, Rose sets out to find evidence of Mr Tregellas's wrongdoing. In her search, she encounters a mysterious young sailor called Jim, who refuses to disclose his identity. Even as she falls in love with him, she questions who he really is. He may help her restore her fortune and her good name, but does he ever tell her the truth?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cornwall, 1793 is the setting of this historical fiction debut.It is geographically vivid, emotionally moving, dramatic in conflict.A feisty heroine and a ruggedly handsome sailor stoke the fires ofromantic possibility and then shift to impossibility.There is enough romantic alternation and striking events to keep the reader alert.However,Rose's question remains " does he ever tell her the truth?"Goodreads giveaway
