The Bride of the Smuggler Coast

The revenue cutter sank her father's ship. The only witness lives alone on a cliff and refuses to be bought. Emily Trelawny rides into a storm to buy Kel Trevose's silence — and ends up trapped with him for a week while the wind howls. He is not what the village gossip says, and her father was not what she believed. As the law closes in and her own fiancé becomes the man to fear, Emily must decide whose side she stands on. A forced-proximity Regency historical romance of the Cornish coast, for readers who love salt air, slow-burn tension, and a heroine who testifies.
