The Peacock of Bodmin Moor
He arrived in Cornwall dressed like a peacock. He left it a legend.
Nicholas Hawke, the dazzling Earl of Lanarth, comes to Bodmin Moor with a reputation for charm, extravagance, and secrets hidden beneath silk and wit. Beneath the finery lies a man on a dangerous mission: French luxury goods are being smuggled into Cornwall, and English state secrets are slipping out. Someone in the county is trading fashion for treason.
Helena Trenoweth, daughter of a proud viscount, sees through Nicholas's polished fa ade from the moment he steps into her world. What begins as wary fascination becomes a perilous alliance as smuggling routes, coded letters, and clandestine meetings draw them both toward Penrose Cove-and toward the truth that could destroy Trevenna Hall.
From storm-lashed cliffs to glittering London ballrooms, The Peacock of Bodmin Moor follows a man forced to shed every disguise, and the woman who stands beside him when the tide turns. A Regency tale of danger, devotion, and a love forged in shadows.
