Free-spirited, strong-willed, and capable, the bonesetter’s daughter, Grace, hopes to find a man who doesn’t want to change her. But the man of her dreams is just that, a dream because none in the small village of St Merryn excites her. Until she meets Johnny.
The eldest in a wretched, poverty-stricken family, Johnny believes no woman will ever think he’s worthy because he has nothing to offer but his body and his heart. A fateful accident brings the two together, but with danger lurking at every turn and Johnny’s life hanging in the balance, they must find the strength to admit what they both want if they are to seal their love.
