They say only the brave ride Bridles Lane at night. Vicar Richard Dodge speaks of ghosts and demons, conducting elaborate exorcisms in his churchyard overlooking the lane. And with the villagers sheltering in fear, local smugglers carry their haul up the road to be hidden in the safety of the church. Isaac and Scarlett Bailey have spent their lives hiding contraband in Talland church. Forced into free trade by their father's mistakes, they want nothing more than to escape the smuggling syndicate and build a life above the law.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3
In 1806, a fateful decision sends Eleanor Marling from the salons of London to a prison ship bound for New South Wales. She is put to work at the female factory of Parramatta, where the women’s only hope of food and lodgings is to offer their bodies to the settlement’s men. Nell is given shelter by Lieutenant Blackwell, a brooding soldier to whom she is inexplicably drawn. Despite warnings from the other women, Blackwell’s motives seem decent, and beneath the roof of a military officer, Nell sees a chance to become more than a convict woman sent to the factory to be forgotten.

Publisher's Summary
Cornwall, England, 1726.
Isaac Bailey returns home after four years at sea, expecting a welcome from his family. Instead, he finds his parents' graves and his sister, Scarlett, waiting to be rescued from the orphanage.
Against his will, Isaac is thrust into a world of smuggling, forced into the service of wealthy syndicate boss Charles Reuben.
"Prove yourself trustworthy," says Flora, the witch's daughter, "and the chance for escape will come."
But as Isaac sets about gaining Reuben's trust, he unwittingly draws Scarlett and Flora into his dangerous world of midnight landings. The harder he tries to pull them from the smugglers' net, the harder they are entangled.
Find out where it all began in this short story prequel to the West Country Trilogy, set 14 years before the events of audiobook one.

Really enjoyed it
Really enjoyed this 18th century smuggling historical fiction short story set in South West England.
Grabbed me from the beginning and didn’t let me go.
Looking forward to reading book one in the series.
