Praise for Linda Finlay: ‘Sure to delight her ever-growing legion of fans’ Dilly Court 'Warm and atmospheric, you can practically taste the sea breeze' The Express

The best historical romance book of the year from the Queen of West Country Saga • Previously published by Penguin, Linda Finlay is a much-loved author who writes meticulously well-researched historical saga with huge warmth. • The saga market is seeing a real renaissance and we will build Linda to sit comfortably alongside other big brands in the genre such as Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin. • Linda focuses on rural industries from the West Country – lacemaking, flower farms, ribbon factories – to create engaging, historically-accurate stories which speak straight to the fans of this growing genre. • To understand her heroine’s lives, Linda learns the west country crafts she writes about; she can now make lace, fashion a bonnet with ribbons dyed to match, formulate perfume and knit a fisherman’s gansey.
