She Boarded the Wrong Boat to the Island — The Duke Who Owned It Never Corrected Her
It is the height of August at Pentreath harbour, and Clara Linden, a curate's daughter bound for a modest post as companion to a dowager on St. Aubrey's, boards the wrong launch on a crowded quay and no one says a word to stop her. The island she reaches is not the snug grey place named in her letter of engagement — it is a great green rock rising from the sea, with cliff-faces, a ruined garden, and a house whose gilt crest has been freshly scraped from the stern of the boat. Her new employer's companion is still expected on the Tuesday crossing, and the season will not hold past September. What she does not know is that the man waiting on the jetty, hauling net in a rolled shirt with no coat and no hat, carries a tide-worn name that the harbour at Pentreath would have recognised at once.
