Book description
Edward Loveday always believed that loyalty would see his family
through any crisis. But since his tragic death, they have been far from
united. The fierce rivalry between his twin sons, Adam and St John,
rages on. Consumed by anger and jealousy they are unable to see that
their real enemy is not each other but rather an outsider - Harry Sawle.
Sawle, a cunning and violent smuggler, is determined to use their feud
for his own gain. Meanwhile, in the new Australian penal colony, at
least one Loveday remains loyal as the disgraced Japhet risks his life
to protect Adam's investments from a corrupt militia. But one man's
loyalty is not enough, for unless Adam and St John can find a way to
heal their rift the Lovedays may well be destroyed. As a child, Kate
Tremayne was fascinated with Greek mythology and from that grew her love
of history and tales of valour and adventure. That passion for
historical adventure, weaving fictional characters into real-life
history dramas, is the driving force behind her writing. Her childhood
holidays were spent in Cornwall and she still makes regular pilgrimages
to the land whose beauty and atmospheric moods have always haunted her.
Married with two children, Kate now lives in Sussex.
