Heart Of Stone - Hardcover

Sarah Govier supports herself and her illegitimate son on the income from Talvan, the quarry she inherited from her father. But businessman Kinser Landry has good reason for wanting Talvan and will stop at nothing to get it. Sarah turns in desperation to James Crago, a gunpowder manufacturer whose land adjoins hers. After twenty years as soldier and diplomat in India, Crago has returned home, with his face horrifically scarred. Local reaction to his appearance has turned him into a recluse. Neither James nor Sarah is prepared for the powerful attraction that draws them ever closer. Can they overcome the past and find courage to love again?
