Becksleigh Canal Trilogy

Sparkling and humourous Regency historical romances set against the backdrop of the (fictional) Becksleigh Canal during its construction in rural England in the early 1800s.

The canal will connect the remote and placid Becksleigh region with thriving regional trade, thereby disrupting the settled way of life of the community, while creating new opportunities for residents and newcomers alike.

Right from the start, the coming of the canal exposes deep divisions in the community between those who want the canal, and those who don’t. The bitter conflicts that ensue set the stage for the drama and romance attendant on the planning, construction and completion of the canal.

Many of the characters appear throughout, so the series is best enjoyed in sequence:

1.    A Gentleman Unknown

2.    An Unwelcome Distraction

3.    A Necessary Facade
