Frenchman's Creek by Daphne du Maurier
Set in 17th-century Cornwall, the story follows Lady Dona St. Columb, a restless and adventurous noblewoman who escapes the stifling confines of London society to seek solace at her family's country estate. There, she encounters a charismatic French pirate, Jean-Benoit Aubéry, who is hiding in the nearby creek. Drawn to his free-spirited nature and the thrill of piracy, Dona finds herself torn between her duties as a wife and mother and her desire for freedom and passion. As their forbidden romance unfolds, Dona must confront the consequences of her choices and the societal expectations that bind her.
