Here is one that I picked up recently....
This is the story of a young woman, Christina, who goes from America to stay with her father's estranged family in England. It was her Father's dying wish that the bridge be mended between himself and his father and his daughter has gone to fulfill that desire.
The setting is the coast of England and here there be smugglers. It is dark and dreary, the patriarch of the family is manipulating everyone into doing his bidding, including trying to blackmail Christina into marrying her cousin. Little do they know that Christina comes as a lady with a mind and a will of her own and she won't allow anyone to manipulate her so easily.
I enjoyed this novel. There is a love story mixed in with the intrigue of nearby smugglers and the threat of their discovery and all of these elements mixed together to make for an enjoyable reading experience.
Also, how could you say "no" to that wonderful, dramatic cover art?
