Far Distant Shores — Sally Blake

Shipwrecked as a baby and raised as a Cornish fisherman, Mel Caldwell knew he must pursue the mystery of his origins which seemed to lie in Russsia. When the chance came to go to the Crimea as an accredited journalist he knew he had to go. It meant leaving his lover, Lord Fitzwarren's daughter Jenna -- but brought to realise her father was serious about marrying her to his old friend, Jenna refused to let Mel go alone. For both of them, escape was a step into the unknown, into danger and discovery.
