Cornwall, early autumn 1820
Wyndcliff Estate
Twenty-two years was a long time to wait for life to begin. Even now, as
Liam Twethewey guided his bay horse down the narrow, deeply rutted path,
he could barely prevent the grin from spreading on his face.
Only a mile or so more and he would be in his new home. Everything he’d
been dreaming of—his plans for developing the moorland and making his
own way in the world—was finally within his reach.
He filled his lungs with the damp earth-scented air. The rain had, for the
moment, subsided. Night was falling and twilight’s ominous light cast
shadows on the barren land surrounding him, and he squinted to assess the
ribbon of road winding before him through the moor’s purple grasses and
jagged crags.

He might be far from the home he’d known for most of his life, but he
already felt a connection to this bit of earth.
For he was now on Wyndcliff estate land.
And it all belonged to him.
Perhaps it would have been wiser to wait for his solicitor, Edwin Kinden,
to join him as they’d originally planned. Liam had never set foot on
Wyndcliff property, and the directions he’d received at the inn in town were
vague at best. As the man tasked with overseeing the transfer of property,
Kinden was the most appropriate person to handle all introductions to the
place. But after nearly two hours of waiting for the older man to arrive,
impatience won out. He’d anticipated this moment for far too long to spend
another second sitting idly in a dark, smoky public house.
Liam had left word with the innkeeper for Mr. Kinden to meet him out at
Wyndcliff Hall when he arrived. After all, how hard could it be to find a large
manor house along the main road at the moor’s edge?
Liam urged his horse to a quicker pace. This might be his property, but it
wouldn’t do to be caught in a storm on unfamiliar moorland, especially this
close to nightfall.
A gentle rain began to drizzle from the heavens, and Liam was about to
press his horse to an even faster pace when a sharp, panicked whinny met his
ears. He slowed.
The sound echoed again, followed by a muffled voice.
Concern trumped his enthusiasm, and he halted his horse. But all was now
silent. “Anyone there?”
“Yes!” a feminine voice snapped, high and sharp. “Here! Please help! My
pony’s caught.”
Alarm pushed Liam from his saddle, and his boots landed with a splash in
the mud. After securing his reins to a rugged piece of rock, he tracked the
direction of the voice.
“Mind the bog!” The increasingly volatile wind distorted the woman’s
cries, tossing them amidst its gusts. “It’s deep along the crag.”
