Description
'As her heroine wends her way through perilous times, readers will be swept along in Laker's latest compelling tale' - Booklist
Raised by nuns in an Italian orphanage and abandoned by her mother Claudine, beautiful young Lucy Di Castelloni is determined to find out the mystery of her English parentage. Recently widowed, her nobleman husband's cruel son has raped her and she has escaped to England in search of security and the family she is desperate to be part of.
On a bleak March day in 1850, she arrives in the Victorian seaside resort of Easthampton. Desperately restless, Lucy is unaware of the acute resemblance to her dead mother. Whilst she is charming, her arrival generates suspicion from some due to her unconventional past. Lucy cautiously conceals her true identity until she is certain of how to proceed. In her quest to belong she becomes a threat to more than one family. The family of Daniel Warwyck, ex-champion prizefighter and now head of the powerful Warwyck family are most unsettled by her arrival as she provides a link to Richard Warwyck's past mistress...
What is the secret of Lucy's birth? Will she be able to find out the truth? And who will win her heart -- handsome, fair Richard Warwyck who loves her passionately; dark, glowering railway company man Josh Barton whom she loathes; or Timothy Attwood, whose name is the strongest link from her past?
Claudine's Daughter is a captivating, romantic sequel to Warwyck's Wife.
