On the cliffs of 19th-century Cornwall, a spirited, impetuous young woman is torn between the honor of her family and the longing of her heart.
England, 1811. A tarnished reputation. A distant home. A forced engagement to a dangerous man. When Elizabeth Trelawny flees London, she has more than one reason to run. And when her carriage, pursued by her would-be fianc, is caught in a storm, she quickly accepts the help of a dark stranger. Anything to get back to Cornwall.
But Rowan Curnow is not exactly a stranger. Hes not quite a gentleman either. Class disparity once kept him from courting Elizabeth . . . even if it didnt keep him from kissing her.
The couple elude their pursuers and reach Bastion Point, Elizabeths future inheritance and the one place she calls home. But in the very act of spiriting her to safety, Rowan has jeopardized Elizabeths inheritanceif her grandfather ever learns she spent the night, however innocently, in the company of a man.
Then smugglers unite the pair in a reckless, flirtatious alliancean alliance that both challenges the social norms Elizabeth has been raised to revere and rattles Rowans fledgling faith in God. Elizabeth must choose between the obedience of a child and the desires of a woman: cling to the safety of her home or follow the man she loves.
