Description

After the holidays, the year 1816, on the Great North Road between London and Edinburgh, the incorrigible Miss Pamela Pomeroy pesters her brother Paul into allowing her to take the reins of his spank-up-to-the-nines carriage and flighty team. A farmer’s cart sends the high-strung horses into panic. Reins in hand, barely missing a large hog enjoying a mud bath in the middle of the road, Pamela manages to bring the runaways to a halt. A handsome, grinning, intriguing, farmer claims the pig. Always looking for a new challenge, Pamela vows to investigate this grinning farmer. He’s no peasant, of that she is certain. Having endured more than their share of tragedy, Simon Lawrence and his sister find sanctuary and seclusion at Copeland Manor. Seclusion is all well and good if one needs a place to heal the body and soul. Thanks to Peg the pig, and the incorrigible Miss Pomeroy and her family, Simon and Audry are enlisted to rejoin the living. Leaving the past behind proves a very challenging, fulfilling exercise.
