Beth Jago appears to have the idyllic life, she has a trade to earn a living and a cottage of her own in Cornwall’s beautiful River Valley. Yet appearances can be deceptive …
Beth has a secret. Since inheriting her isolated cottage she has been receiving threats, so when she finds a man in her home she acts on her instincts. One frying pan to the head and she has robbed the handsome stranger of his memory and almost killed him.
Brought together by unknown circumstances, and fearful he may die, she reluctantly nurses the intruder back to health. Yet can she trust the man with no name who has entered her life, or is he as dangerous as his nightmares suggest? As they learn to trust one another, the outside threats worsen. Are they linked to the man with no past? Or is the real danger still outside waiting … and watching them both?

My Review
Another fabulous story set in 19th century Cornwall. I really identified with Beth from the start and was rooting for her to find happiness as she had such a hard life. I didn't really take to the handsome stranger though who conveniently loses his memory so the conflict in my mind was immediate. Victoria Cornwall does a good job of keeping the reader in suspense as it slowly becomes apparent who the stranger is. Beth is such a strong character that even when she reaches rock-bottom she refuses help. At one point I despaired of her ever finding happiness. The minor characters are so well done and the ending is very poignant. If you love historical fiction or Cornwall, you won't want to put this book down.
