When a shocking scandal involving her father spreads through London society, Elaine Cardinham and her parents are forced to retreat to their country home in Cornwall for refuge. But Havencross is no sanctuary for Elaine. She is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her brother and the heartbreak she left in her wake all those years ago.
It has been five long years since Gareth Kemp last saw Elaine when she rejected his marriage proposal. Her reappearance convinces him of one thing: he has never stopped loving her. To put his feelings for her aside, he focuses his attention on the dangerous smuggling plaguing the Cornish coast. As Elaine attempts to run from her past, she ventures ever closer to a dangerous truth and Gareth may be the only one who can save her from a deadly finish.
-This story drew me in from the very beginning of the book.
-I liked the stories and legends throughout the book as well as the locations and descriptions.
-This quote is so relevant even more in this day and age:
“If a man and a woman vow fidelity, there should be no straying, not even of the slightest. This casual way society had of overlooking such vows left a bitter taste in her mouth. Such marriages could not possibly bring happiness to either partner. There could be no trust.”
-Gareth was my favorite character and I liked his sarcastic comments throughout the book.
-While this is a nice thought, unfortunately I am more inclined to agree with Gareth’s viewpoint regarding this quote:
“I believe that we each must find our own Camelot. Somewhere in this world, there exists a place where we might find the idyllic life we seek. A place of joy and peace, love and respect, where we are whole.”
-I hope everything turned out well for the Williams.
-The book was interesting and adventurous. I rated it 5 stars and would highly recommend it.
