Book description
At a midwinter ball in 1815, attended by West Country society, Beth
Tremaine is betrothed to landowner Landry Haldane, who adores her. But
she has a secret past. Made penniless by her stepmother, she became a
blacksmith's mistress and stole money for a new life. Pursued by Sir
Guy Valmer, whom she both feared and desired, she fled to the Devon
coast and changed her name. As Beth and Landry dance at the ball,
Guy's carriage approaches through the snow. Beth is about to confront
her past.
Welsh-born Sarah spent a lot of her childhood in County Fermanagh,
and her early working life in Europe, but has lived in the West Country
since her marriage. She has been writing ever since her two-year-old
daughter - now the mother of two children of her own! - was gravely ill
with meningitis.
