From Booklist:
On her eighteenth birthday, Mariella receives shocking news. She is not, after all, the daughter of a poor Cornish fisherwoman. Instead, she is a Polmar, the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Cornwall. Her father died in a mysterious shooting accident when Mariella was a baby, and her mother fled the Polmar home, Porthminster Hall, with her infant son, leaving Mariella with the fisherwoman. Neither mother nor son were ever seen again. Although Mariella is stunned by these unexpected revelations, she's delighted to learn she has a real family still living at Porthminster Hall. She arrives at Porthminster, eager to meet her relatives, but everyone except her grandfather greets her with disdain. The one bright spot is Richard Carnforth, Porthminster's estate manager: for Mariella, it's love at first sight. But her euphoria quickly evaporates as dark and dangerous secrets about the Polmar family are revealed. A classic historical romance embellished with a dash of mystery and a soupcon of suspense, Tanner's latest will delight genre fans. Emily Melton
