Frenchmans Creek

Dona St Columb flees the superficial world of the Restoration Court to find solitude at Navron, her husband's secluded Cornish estate. Among its hidden creeks and woods, she encounters a fugitive French pirate—a man as forbidden and thrilling as the freedom she craves. Du Maurier weaves a tale of passion and rebellion, where a woman discovers that escape from one life may mean surrendering to another entirely.
