A Cornish Affair

by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

Cynthia Harrod-Eagles won the Romantic Novelists of the Year Award in 1993 When her fiance Jim disappeared at sea, two things had kept Sally Trevose going - helping her grandmother run their boarding house and her belief that Jim might not be dead. Then Nikko came to the boarding house. He was an ambitious young journalist whose dark good looks betrayed his gipsy descent, and he was determined to win Sally, even though she had asked his help in looking for Jim. Sally would have to fight desperately against the spell of Nikko's Romany magic if she were to remain true to her life-long love.
