Caseley Bonython was in her father's shipping yard when the schooner Cygnet came into Falmouth harbour.At her helm was the half-Cornish,half-Spanish,masterful Jago Barata,who was far from pleased to find himself dealing with a 21-year-old girl,especially one so independent and stubborn as Caseley.She had been forced by her father's illness to run his shipping business,and more besides.For her father was Consul for Mexico,and Mexico with its Spanish connections was involved in the Spanish wars to restore the monarchy.How this was to affect both Caseley and Jago and the stormy relationship that was to develop between them is the subject of this outstanding historical romance of Victorian Cornwall.
Author's second historical romance novel,the first being 'Harlyn Tremayne'.
