Description
Johnny Rossendale returns to Devon after four years at sea, his sailing cutter the Sunflower in tow. His mother's illness brings him back to land, but he soon finds himself being watched by sinister foes who believe he possesses a valuable painting that belongs to his family. An attempt on his life makes it clear that someone is willing to go to great lengths to get their hands on the missing artwork. As Earl of Stowey, Johnny has a long history of dealing with those who would seek to take advantage of him and his family's fortune. He will not let this happen without a fight. With eight centuries of robber-baron blood pumping through his veins, Johnny is determined to protect his family's legacy and uncover the truth behind the attempted theft.
