It’s 1887, Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee year. Twenty-five-year old Morwen Rowse has grown up in Trevisco, a small Cornish fishing village, and she believes herself to in danger of becoming an old maid.
Pasco Carne, Trevisco’s village policeman, is devastated when the virgin love of his life, is killed. In his distress, he allows himself to be comforted by Morwen. When they embark upon a full-blown love affair, he takes her virginity and teaches her the joyful art of sex. But their happiness is destined to be short-lived—Morwen’s future is being decided elsewhere. She’s the bastard child of high-born Lady Rodda-Henry, and her ladyship is determined to get her bastard daughter accepted into London society. She is even prepared to resort to lies and trickery to achieve it.
