One Silver Summer
Publisher: Old Barn Books
Troubled teenager Sass arrives in England to live with an uncle she doesn't know. The wild seas, dilapidated castles and sunlit meadows are so different to her home in Brooklyn. She befriends a silver horse and an angry, brown-haired boy who seems as burdened with sadness as she is. He says he's a stable boy at the big house - but this couldn't be further from the truth.
Set in the dramatic landscape of wild Cornwall, this 21st-century take on first love stars a prince, a grief-stricken girl, beautiful, brave horses and a desperate pack of journalists who will stop at nothing to get their story. Contemporary but timeless, the romantic tale features family break-ups, bereavement, adventure and two compelling characters who happen to fall in love.
