The Restoration Court knows Lady Dona St Columb to be ripe for any folly- any outrage that will alter the tedium of her days. But there is another- secret Dona who longs for freedom- honest love - and sweetness- even if it is spiced with danger.To escape the shallowness of court life- Dona retreats to Navron- her husbands remote Cornish estate.
