    About this ebook

    Love is a Dangerous Affair

    It's Christmas morning, 1715, and Catrin discovers a Jacobite fugitive on a Welsh mountainside. Now she is placed in mortal danger and is no longer sure who she can trust. The new farm hand, Jenkyn, is an enigma, and even her loyal maid, Jenette, places her in peril. How can she repulse the amorous advances of wealthy neighbour Griffith Evans and still protect the man she loves? Set in eighteenth century, pre-industrial Rhondda Valley in South Wales, this is a tale of deception, suspicion, treachery, and love.
