The Light at Wyndcliff

Regency Intrigue on the Cornwall Coast

I love Cornwall. I love Sarah Ladd. I love the Regency era. So why haven’t I read this book yet? Yeah. Good question. Probably because it just came out and so many books, so little time, ya know? But it’s on my TBR pile, and after you read the following blurb for The Light at Wyndcliff, I suspect it just might be tossed atop your pile as well!

In the small Cornish village of Pevlyn, secrets are as treacherous as the rocky English shores.

Cornwall, England, 1820

Raised on the sprawling and rugged Wyndcliff Estate near the dangerous coast of South Cornwall, Evelyn Bray lives with her grandfather, a once-wealthy man now reduced to the post of steward. Evelyn is still grieving her father’s death and her mother’s abandonment when a passing ship is dashed against the rocks.

Liam Twethewey is a mere two and twenty when he inherits Wyndcliff Estate from his great uncle. His optimistic plans of opening a china clay pit to employ the estate’s tenants meets unexpected resistance, and rumors of smuggling and illegal activity challenge his newfound authority.

Brought together by troubling questions surrounding the shipwreck, Evelyn and Liam uncover even darker mysteries shrouding the estate. But as they untangle truth from deception, their loyalties separate them—and their budding love might not be strong enough to overcome the distance.
