Years ago, Althea Selwyn's mother gave birth to a son, whom
got ripped out of her arms moments after the birth by her
husband who believed that she betrayed him. He leaves
without a backword glance, but a few minutes later her
mother gives birth to a second child:Althea. Determined Read more...
SummaryMiss Althea Selwyn, born in England and raised in the West
Indies, is quite unlike any lady of Pierson Drake's
acquaintance. Outspoken and opinionated, she can curse like
a sailor and add up a column of figures in her head. Drake
realizes immediately that there is more to her than meets
the eye, and he is pleased to have the opportunity to
unravel the mystery when she cleverly maneuvers him into
taking her back to London on his ship.
Drake is shocked to find himself completely enthralled by
Thea's combination of passion and innocence, intelligence
and loyalty—and a stubborn recklessness that could put
her in harm's way. For Thea is determined to discover who
has been embezzling money from the shipping venture she
manages with her uncle—and someone is willing to do
whatever it takes to ensure she never reaches London alive.
Luckily Drake is no ordinary pampered English gentleman. He
was raised under a cloud of scandal, and he's had to scheme
and fight to attain his present position of wealth and
power. Now it will take every asset at his command to keep
Thea out of trouble—and in his arms where she belongs.
