On the Shore (Marie of the Sea Book 1)

Description

In the twilight of the 19th century, on the rugged shores of Cap-des-Rosiers, Marie’s untamed spirit yearns for something more than her Catholic village can offer. When the magnetic Antoine arrives, he awakens a fire within her that neither the church’s stern warnings nor society’s judgment can extinguish.

But summer romances end, and Antoine’s departure leaves Marie with nothing but burning memories and whispered scandal. As the village turns its back on her, only Charles, her childhood friend, sees beyond her “fallen” reputation to the passionate woman beneath. Yet even as he offers her a chance at redemption through respectability, Marie can’t forget the taste of true passion.

Perched on her clifftop sanctuary, Marie must choose: surrender to convention, or fight for a love as wild and free as the sea itself. In a world where a woman’s reputation is everything, she dares to risk it all to be true to her heart.

This first volume of the bestselling trilogy (over 20,000 copies sold) weaves a sensual tale of desire, defiance, and destiny that will leave you breathless. Perfect for readers who love their historical romance with a fierce heroine, complex emotions, and the untamed beauty of the Canadian coast.

A love story that proves some passions are worth any price.
