Über dieses E-Book

An independent woman is drawn to a handsome naval captain—sent by her controlling father—in this delightful Regency romance.

Ever since her father tried to sell her as a mistress to the highest bidder, Eleanor “Nana” Massie has prized her independence above all else—even if it means living in poverty. But her world changes overnight when Captain Oliver Worthy shows up at her struggling inn. Despite herself, Nana is intrigued by her beguiling gentleman guest . . .

Oliver planned to stay in Plymouth only long enough to report back to Lord Ratliffe—about Nana. But he soon senses that Lord Ratliffe is up to something, and Oliver will do anything to keep this courageous, beautiful woman safe. He’d even go so far as to marry her!

Autoren-Profil

I started writing Regencies because of interest in the Napoleonic Wars. I like writing about warfare at sea and ordinary people of the British Isles, rather than lords and ladies. In my spare time I like to read British crime fiction and history, particularly the U.S. Indian Wars. I currently live in Utah. I'm a former park ranger, and double Rita Award and Spur Award winner. I have five interesting children and four grands. Favorite authors include Robert Crais and Richard Woodman.
