The Restoration Court knows Lady Dona St Columb to be ripe for any folly, any outrage that will alter the tedium of her days. But there is another, secret Dona who longs for a life of honest love and sweetness, even if it is spiced with danger.
It is this Dona who flees the stews of London for remote Navron, looking for peace of mind in its solitary woods and hidden creeks. She finds there the passion her spirit craves β in the love of a daring pirate hunted by all Cornwall, a Frenchman who, like Dona, would gamble his life for a momentβs joy.
