Produktbeschreibung
A vulnerable young widow falls for a charming but ruthless smuggler. When Harriet Penhallow is left widowed, she and her two children are forced to accept the charity of her late husband's aunt. Having uprooted themselves from their life in Bath, they move into a comparatively isolated and rundown cottage on the south coast of Cornwall, nestling above a little inlet known as Prussia Cove. Little does Harriet know, but it's the center of Cornish smuggling. One of the ringleaders is the charismatic Jack Trevelyan, captain of The Fly and only son of Harriet's kind new neighbor. It doesn't take her long to work out Jack is a smuggler, despite him being a gentleman and despite the fact that she's beginning to have feelings for him. For his part, Jack, even though he's immediately attracted to her, suspects she might have been sent to spy on his activities. Then, one night, Caroline's twelve-year-old son sneaks down to the cove where The Fly is anchored, and she goes after him. When they hear the crew returning, they hide-before they know it, they're at sea and too frightened to reveal themselves. When daylight comes, they're discovered, but it's too late to take them back to Cornwall. They're forced to continue on to the smugglers' rendezvous in Brittany. However, being part of this crew, even inadvertently, does not come without its dangers, and on the way back to Cornwall, The Fly is spotted by a revenue cutter...

Autorenporträt
Fil Reid lives four miles from the sea in Cornwall with her husband and a rescue dog from Romania called Bella. Her books have been published by Dragonblade in the US since she won their Write Stuff competition. Her first six books comprise the Guinevere series - an innovative retelling of the Arthurian legend from the point of view of a modern origin Guinevere. Her short stories have been shortlisted in several competitions and won a few prizes. She has a new series set in Cornwall coming out this year, starting with The Cornish Mermaid.Apart from writing, the great love of her life has always been horses, and when she was younger she worked with them for a number of years - on the stud attached to Highclere Castle (where Downton Abbey was filmed), as a stable girl in a flat racing yard (when she was young, brave and thin), and in a riding school. She also ran her own riding school when her children were small.She speaks fluent French after having lived there for ten years, after which she lived on a widebeam canal boat before her move to Cornwall. One of the things she loves to do is to visit the sites she uses in her stories. However, she has acrophobia, a morbid fear of heights, so one or two places are out of reach to her. Too scary!She's been fascinated by all things Arthurian since she was a small child and saw the Disney film The Sword in the Stone, but didn't find out until she was an adult that she has Asperger's Syndrome (as do two of her sons). She now believes her ASD accounts for her obsessions with both horses and King Arthur.
