A short Regency novella set in 1809.
An abandoned bride – Emily Heywood was deserted on her wedding day by the husband she loves, the man she believes married her only for her inheritance.
Bound by his duty – Blake Heyward, Lord Greystoke, had no honourable choice but to obey orders and return to the battlefields of the Peninsula, leaving the bride he believes married him only for his title.
When Blake comes to her at the ghostly Star Castle on the Isles of Scilly Emily cannot believe at first that her husband is alive. Then she finds Blake is no ghost, but a flesh and blood man set on seducing his virgin bride.
In the course of one hot summer’s day by the sea can Blake and Emily admit their feelings, save their marriage and discover love?
