"Leaving her husband and the wealthy life of Royal London society behind, a distraught Dona St. Columb retreats to her country estate in Cornwall. In search of peace and solitude, she encounters the exact opposite. French pirates have overthrown the city and gained control of the local community. In fact, one pirate is living in her family's home and hiding his boat in a creek within their grounds. Dona attempts to rid her house of the Frenchman, but, surprisingly, finds the rebellious character to be quite intriguing, possessing an attitude unlike the sophisticated men of London. Now, she finds herself caught between her growing affection for the pirate and the local community's attempt to defeat the raiders and capture the Frenchman. Set in the days of the Restoration, Tara Fitzgerald (The Woman in White) and Anthony Delon recreate classic romance in Daphne du Maurier's enduring story of piracy and betrayal."--Container.
