The Island Legacy

From Amazon Bestselling author Ruth Saberton comes THE ISLAND LEGACY - a story of love, betrayal and family secrets - set in beautiful Cornwall. Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey, Rosamunde Pilcher and Poldark.

Ness Penwellyn always struggled to feel settled and now her life has taken an unexpected turn; she is the heir to the ancestral family home in England. Ness exchanges her American life for a castle set on a Cornish island and swaps solitude for newly discovered relatives – some more pleased to learn of her existence than others.

Inheriting vast debts alongside the castle, it isn't long before Ness encounters property developer, Max Reynard. Wealthy and wickedly handsome, Max is accustomed to getting his own way. His assumption she’ll sell to him only makes Ness more determined to find the strength to go it alone – even as bitter cousins plot and circumstances spiral out of control.

Before long Ness and Max are locked in a battle of wills as the castle’s past and present collide in the fight to preserve its future. Soon Ness must decide who she can trust with both the island legacy and her heart…

THE ISLAND LEGACY is captivating blend of romance, mystery and courage played out against the breath taking beauty of Cornwall’s dramatic coastline.
