false <![CDATA[Frenchman's Creek]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182660149m/84574.jpg 84573 22 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 -- in the love of a daring pirate hunted by all Cornwall, a Frenchman who, like Dona, would gamble his life for a moment's joy. 2973873 book 1992 Frenchman's Creek total:729|5:184|4:258|3:211|2:60|1:15| 729 2725 1031 90 4 4 false false Sat Jan 24 14:52:39 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 15:21:12 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Apr 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 13:27:59 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 13:28:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sun Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 07:49:21 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 05 04:08:12 -0700 2008 1
