One side of Emma Spry's face was marred during birth, her father was killed in a duel, and her mother's ambitions lie with her beautiful sister Tamsin. The ugly duckling of the family, Emma receives little affection.
And while Bram Fox may be dangerously attractive, but only Canon Robartes, relishing her wit and vulnerability, can teach her the true meaning of love.
Set in Cornwall in the early Nineteenth Century, The Ugly Sister is an absorbing read, reminiscent of Winston Graham's classic Poldark novels.
