Tamsin Harte Author:Malcolm MacDonald The eponymous heroine of the prolific MacDonald's latest historical novel is a feisty young entrepreneur corralled into running a bed-and-breakfast with her mother after her beloved father's death. Tamsin and her mother have moved to a Cornish seaside resort and opened a guest house with their last remaining funds. Believing that only a wealthy ... more »husband will make her dream of opening a first-class hotel come true, Tamsin connives to meet a handsome young vacationer. She also makes the acquaintance of a crusty old seaman and his gorgeous fisherman son, and the Rolls Royce-driving owner of the area's grandest hotel. A free spirit in that fateful summer of 1907, Tamsin skinny-dips with the maid of her wealthy new friends as well as with two men before she learns the facts of life, then becomes involved in a smuggling scheme. But no matter what she gets up to, Macdonald's determined heroine retains her light-hearted innocence and joie de vivre. -- Booklist« less
