The Fifth Daughter is a stunning new love story
that sweeps from the somber moors of Yorkshire to the
Tuscan hills of sunny Italy.
Born of tragedy and nurtured by scandal,
Maresa Fairweather was a fifth daughter, all but
abandoned by her widower father. Wild and
headstrong, she was fortunate to have Percy Bronwell
to keep her from harm’s way. Now the childhood
friends have grown up, but realizing his love for
Maresa is unrequited, Percy enlists in the Royal Navy.
Always attracted to the wrong man, Maresa
continues her flirtatious ways until increasing
gossip dictates a change of scene. She travels to Italy,
but old habits are hard to break and, desperate to end
another engagement, she pleads for Percy’s help. He
saves her the only way he can-by offering a marriage
of convenience.
After only one night together, Percy returns to his
naval command
and Maresa becomes the woman
she was destined to be. Learning that Percy’s life is in
danger at the hands of the French, she risks her own
life to save him-and to give him something he has
always given her: unwavering love. But is it too late?
