Publisher Description
A sweeping, breath-taking tale of love, betrayal…and a secret that could change the course of history.
The secret of Provence House might just be best left untold…
Translator Laura has travelled a world away from her New York home to the turquoise seas and rugged beauty of the Cornish coast. She has been summoned to Provence House, a magnificent English country estate, in order to translate a recently uncovered ancient scroll. But it seems the attraction of Provence House stretches beyond the professional…
Forbidden from discussing the shocking truths she is uncovering with any outsiders, Laura finds herself swept up in a passionate affair with James, the married heir to Provence House. This one glorious Cornish summer will change Laura’s life – and rewrite history – for ever. Laura must find the courage to expose the devastating historical truths, lost in the mists of time, knowing they will rock civilisation to its very core.
For fans of Santa Montefiore and Dinah Jeffries, this sweeping epic is the perfect escapist read for 2021

Customer Reviews
Compelling
Compelling and beautifully written. I’d love to see it turned into a film or a series.
Couldn’t get thru first chapter
Like anyone else, I can appreciate a detailed description or two to set the mood and location of a story. However this story went on and on and on... in minute detail pretty much constantly. I skipped a lot of the descriptions, but the second chapter failed to grab my interest too. Very disappointing.
