Book description
If a man does not have honour, he has nothing,' Edward Loveday
declares, but the honour of the Loveday family faces its most serious
challenge yet. Japhet Loveday has been tried and convicted of highway
robbery. His wife Gwen is desperate to clear his name, but Japhet has
made some powerful enemies and her efforts may not be enough to save him
from transportation. Edward must also confront a more personal trouble.
His wife, Amelia, is still reeling from the shock arrival of Edward's
illegitimate daughter, Tamasine, and refuses to have her name mentioned.
Will Edward be forced to choose between his daughter and his wife?
Meanwhile Tamasine herself has fallen in love with the handsome Rupert
Charlton, but when the truth of her parentage is revealed, a vendetta
breaks out between the two families that threatens to destroy their
relationship. Will loyalty and honour eventually triumph? And at what
cost to the family's happiness and future? 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.
