Cornwall: 1786
Twenty years ago, fate denied Adam Loveday his birthright: the family estate, Trevowan, and the boatyard that his father is struggling to maintain. The intense childhood rivalry between Adam and his elder twin St John continues to govern their fated passions and chequered fortunes.
St John has become a lazy, dissolute wastrel. Adam, however, has fierce family pride in Trevowan and the yard, and a talent for ship design. Born with a passion for adventure, he would like nothing more than to be master of the Loveday yard - building and captaining his own vessel.
Adventure also presents itself in the form of Meriel Sawle, the seductive daughter of the local innkeeper, whose violent family are infamous in the smuggling trade. Adam discovers that Meriel has always been attracted to his handsome features and roguish charm and is determined to have her, despite his family's plans for a betrothal to his French cousin. Meanwhile, St John is aware of his father's increasing disapproval and fears that Adam will be given the Loveday yard. Consumed with jealousy and hatred, he puts into motion a plan to ensure that Adam will never get what his heart desires: the boatyard - and Meriel...
Rich in drama and passion, filled with the atmosphere and flavour of eighteenth century Cornwall, ADAM LOVEDAY is a story of family relationships that transcends time, and heralds the emergence of an exciting new storyteller. It is the first book in the Loveday series which anyone who loved Winston Graham's Poldark or Susan Howatch's Penmarric cannot afford to miss.
