From "New York Times" bestselling author Jane Feather comes a heart-quickening romance of two adventurers drawn together in a dangerous game of deception and desire. . . When Lord Rutherford arrives... This description may be from another edition of this product.
When Lord Rutherford inherited property in a godforsaken corner of Cornwall, he expected to find the local gentry pompou, the local amusements sadly lacking, and a thrinving trade in smuggled goods. What he didn't expect to find was a young widow whose dowdy clothing and demure manner seemed to hide a surprising wit and a sharper intellect. Was Merrie Trelawney the unassuming woman she presented to society - or something more fascinating?
One of Ms Feather's best!!!

I have read almost every book she has written and this is one of my favorites. Merrie Trelawney reminded me of a milder female version of "The Scarlet Pimpernel" and I loved her. As the back cover said, he considered her an insipid church mouse and that is exactly what she wanted all to think, while she was busy as a smuggler. They are a great pair and the story will keep your interest all the way. I loved it and definitely recommend it for a great read.
A truly stunning, captivating, passion-filled novel !!!

This is one of my favorite books ever. I've read it countless times and still adore it. Who would have thought that a respectable young widow is actually a smuggler to make ends meet ? Merrie and Damian knew that they're destined for each other, but Merrie needed more convincing about marriage. The playful banter, adventures, and love scenes will definitely satisfy romance fans everywhere. Go grab this one and be impressed !!!
