Description: Cornish smuggler Devlin 'Devil' Varcoe braves winter weather and revenue men to fetch the contraband on which Porthinnis depends for survival. Drawn to Jenefer Trevanion, whose father finances the smuggling operation, Devlin is seduced by beautiful wild-child Tamara Gillis. When fire destroys her home, Jenefer is forced to work in the pilchard cellars. Meanwhile, craving Tamara for himself, Thomas Varcoe plots to kill his brother. Rejected by Devlin, a pregnant Tamara is pressured to marry Thomas. It is only when he faces death that Devlin finally recognises the love he never believed he deserved. Then disaster strikes and he must choose: loyalty or freedom?
