It’s not very often that I join in with a cover reveal, but for Jane Cable – I so enjoy her books! – I’m very happy to make an exception. The Lost Heir, the second in her Cornish Echoes series, will be published on 11th August by Sapere Books, and is now available for preorder. And isn’t that cover just perfect – and very atmospheric! My thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invitation and support.
When dual time stories are particularly well written, they’re always a personal favourite – and I absolutely loved The Forgotten Maid, the first standalone book in this lovely series. There was a really strong sense of place, well developed characters, a central mystery, historical authenticity, romance and small touches of the supernatural – and I found it entirely enthralling, one of my favourite reads of 2021 (you’ll find my full review here). And this one looks every bit as enticing…
Cornwall, 2020
At the beginning of lockdown, teacher Carla Burgess needs to make some changes to her life. She no longer loves her job, and it’s certainly time to kick her on-off boyfriend into touch. But then, while walking on the cliffs she meets Mani Dolcoath, a gorgeous American with a dark aura.
Mani is researching his family history, and slowly their lives and their heritage begin to entwine. The discovery of a locked Georgian tea caddy in the barn on her parents’ farm intrigues Carla, but then she starts to see orbs, something that hasn’t happened since her grandmother died. They terrify her and she’ll do anything to outrun them, but will she lose Mani’s friendship in the process?
Cornwall, 1810
Harriet Lemon’s position as companion to Lady Frances Basset (Franny) perfectly conceals the fact they are lovers. But when Franny is raped and falls pregnant their lives are destined to change forever.
The one person who may be able to help them is Franny’s childhood friend, William Burgess, a notorious smuggler. But he has secrets of his own he needs to protect. Will his loyalties be divided, or will he come through?
Doesn’t that look wonderful? One I’m very much looking forward to – and I’ll be sharing a review, I promise!
