5) Havencross by Julie Daines

I chose this book solely by the cover. Historical romance, set in Cornwall 1800s. The cover shows a woman standing on the edge of the sea facing away, her dress billowing in the wind. I read it without reading the description and was drawn in by the end of the second page. Elaine is running from her past and is forced to face it when circumstances beyond her control require her to return home. Very good. Danger, romance, plot twists. I kept trying to guess what would happen and I was wrong sometimes and right sometimes which is just how I like it.
