Frenchman's Creek: A lush, historical drama about love and freedom

A lady bound by duty. A pirate who lives by desire. Together, they risk everything in a historical romance of freedom, danger, and forbidden love.

Restless in London's rigid society, Lady Dona St. Columb escapes to the Cornish coast. There, shadowed creeks conceal a daring French privateer who offers the adventure she craves. Their secret encounters unfold in a world of stolen passion, dangerous choices, and the intoxicating pull of a gothic love story that defies every convention.

Celebrated for her lyrical prose and haunting settings, Daphne du Maurier delivers a classic romance novel that readers call "the perfect escape" and "a breath of fresh air." Frenchman's Creek endures as both swashbuckling pirate adventure and timeless exploration of longing, danger, and the perilous beauty of surrendering to the heart.

"Highly personalized adventure, ultra-romantic mood, and skillful storytelling." --New York Times
