I'm delighted to be able to tell you my next Cornish Echoes novel will be published as an ebook on August 11th, with a paperback to follow. This time it's set around Tehidy, the home of the hugely influencial Basset family until early in the last century.
Cornwall, 2020
At the beginning of lockdown, teacher Carla Burgess needs to
make some changes to her life. She no longer loves her job, and it’s certainly
time to kick her on-off boyfriend into touch. But then, while walking on the
cliffs she meets, Mani Dolcoath, a gorgeous American with a dark aura.
Mani is researching his family history, and slowly their
lives and their heritage begin to entwine. The discovery of a locked Georgian
tea caddy in the barn on her parents’ farm intrigues Carla, but then she starts
to see orbs, something that hasn’t happened since her grandmother died. They
terrify her and she’ll do anything to outrun them, but will she lose Mani’s
friendship in the process?
Cornwall, 1810
Harriet Lemon’s position as companion to Lady Frances Basset
(Franny) perfectly conceals the fact they are lovers. But when Franny is raped
and falls pregnant their lives are destined to change forever.
The one person who may be able to help them is Franny’s
childhood friend, William Burgess, a notorious smuggler. But he has secrets of
his own he needs to protect. Will his loyalties be divided, or will he come
through?
