The Cornwall novels, [3]

"When Liam Twethewey inherits the ancient Wyndcliff Hall in Pevlyn, Cornwall, he sets a goal of fulfilling his late great-uncle's dream of opening a china clay pit on the estate's moorland. When he arrives, however, a mysterious shipwreck on his property - along with even more mysterious survivors - puts his plans on hold. Evelyn Bray has lived in Pevlyn her entire life. After her grandfather's fall from fortune, he humbled himself and accepted the position of steward at Wyndcliff Hall. Evelyn's mother, embarrassed by the reduction of wealth and status, left Pevlyn in search of a better life for them both, but in spite of her promise, never returns. Evelyn is left to navigate an uncertain path with an even more uncertain future. When the mysteries surrounding the shipwreck survivors intensify, Liam and Evelyn are thrown together as they attempt to untangle a web of deceit and secrets. But as they separate the truths from the lies, they quickly learn that their surroundings - and the people in it - are not as they seem. Liam and Evelyn are each tested, and as a romance buds between them, they must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome their growing differences."_-Publisher1820.
