A Young Wives' Tale: A historical romance set in 19th century Jamaica (The Peverill Family Saga #3)
Doris Leslie
The saga of the Peverill family continues…
England, 1801
When Lady Christina Tyson learns that her headstrong daughter Antonia has eloped with secret lover John Mellon, she’s dismayed – and all the more so when she discovers that her daughter’s marriage will take her far away from England to the shores of Jamaica.
Just like Christina at her age, Antonia is hungry for adventure. But life in the Caribbean isn’t the sun-drenched idyll she had dreamt of – especially when a long-buried secret from John’s past threatens to destroy the couple’s happiness.
Years later, John and Antonia’s orphan daughter Pauline Mellon is the despair of her grandmother, as Christina struggles to mould the spirited young woman into a suitable wife for an aristocrat. Rebellious Pauline disdains the debutante social scene, and although her cousin Folliett Peverill has loved her from the age of twelve, she spurns his affections.
When Pauline meets Richard Mellon, a political radical with parliamentary aspirations, she is immediately smitten – and is bowled over with delight when a marriage proposal soon follows.
Is Pauline following her heart into disaster? Does true love lie closer to home than she knows?
And when Pauline embarks on a reckless course of action, could she lose everything over one foolish mistake?
A YOUNG WIVES’ TALE is the third book in The Peverill Family Saga romantic historical novels set between the 17th and 19th centuries in England.
