About this ebook

Perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley, The Companion's Charm is the first sweeping instalment in The Brightwater Sisters trilogy, the atmospheric family saga about love, loss and destiny which spans the Mediterranean.

Far from home, destiny is calling the Brightwaters sisters...

England 1856.

Amelia-Jane Brightwater has never wanted to leave home - until a mysterious betrayal leaves her family's fate hanging in the balance, and she is left with no choice but to journey to Croatia as companion to a spoiled young Englishwoman.

Desperately homesick, she must learn to adapt to her new life in Ragusa if she is to save her two beloved sisters from being forced to leave their happy home as well. So when Amelia-Jane befriends an older local woman, a ray of hope appears.

But will it be through her new friend's rakish grandson, the scandal of a missing Ragusan heiress, or an infuriating English travel writer that Amelia-Jane finally finds her real purpose?
