Wild Boar Wood

the long version

When her friend Linda died while working in France, Sara was not at all happy about the slightly mysterious circumstances of her death, and decided to go there herself to take Linda's place as governess-companion to the little boy Luc, at the Chateau de Marcassin — the Castle of the Wild Boar. Before she died, Linda had written to Sara about a man she had fallen in love with — a dangerous man who 'wouldn't a fig for any woman'. Could that man be Luc's father, Gilles de Marcassin, who himself had told Sara of his forebear, 'Le Chasseur' - the Huntsman, who hunted things no gentleman should. Women, as well as the wild boar. Or was it his brother Tobie or — as seemed even more likely — his dark and dangerous cousin Romain? Hadn’t Sara got herself well and truly out of her depth?
