An historic house, spectacular scenery and colourful Cornish customs form the backdrop to a racy romantic romp with a contemporary twist in the tail.
After a disastrous affair with her Academy Principal, talented young teacher, Sam Laker, fled overseas. Moving from one short-term role to another in a series of glamorous locations, she had a ball. Now she's back in the UK for good. She needs a job and a place to stay. But not, definitely not, any kind of serious relationship.
The position of live-in tutor for the ten-year-old heir to Earl Mountclare seems like the perfect solution. Whilst young Aubyn, who was badly injured in a car crash, is a poppet, his Lordship is boorish, bossy and bloody-minded - maintaining a professional distance from him should be a piece of cake.
But that's easier said than done, when, whatever common sense tells her, just being in the same room as Perry Mountclare sends Sam's pulses racing.
When she learns of the tragic circumstances in Perry's past and the dreadful truth about why he's being forced to sell the estate - the entire Mountclare inheritance - to a ruthless developer, Sam's defences crumble further. Realising the terrible strain he's under, she sets out to help - whether he likes it or not - and hits on a scheme to save the Mountclare family fortunes. All Sam needs to do now is to get Perry to accept her proposal...
A Cornish Proposal is the first book in the Mountclare House series.
