Publisher's Synopsis
Lady Dona de Colomb is a by-word even at the raffish Restoration court: ripe for any folly and outrage to spice the futile tedium of her days - while another, secret Dona yearns for a life of infinite love, danger, and sweetness. It is this Dona who flees the stews of London for remote Navron, seeking peace of mind in its solitary woods and hidden creeks. Here she finds the boundless passion her spirit craves - daring to love the pirate hunted by all Cornwall, a Frenchman with a soul as unfettered as her own, accustomed to gambling his life against a moment's joy. And, as the net closes, Dona must make the anguished choice, which is no choice at all...
