Love,
Betrayal and Redemption
Calista ‘CC’ Collins is used to being the talk of the town. With her scandalous past she’s learnt the hard way that a woman needs to be strong to get what she wants in a man’s world. And what she wants is the infamous Captain Beauford Tollier—roguish son of an earl, notorious blockade-runner and all-round knave of the seas.
However, Captain Beau is not one to be cajoled—he is done with the dangerous sea life and ready to follow the life of the straight and narrow. But with many powerful forces circling around him, Beau doesn’t stand a chance…

Excerpt
Clutching her elbow, he led her
across the manicured lawn into a copse of trees.
What are you do—”
He swung them behind a tree and
peered out. Whatever she wanted to talk about suddenly lost importance. The
villains following him were the more immediate problem.
“Tell me—”
“Shhhh.” He pressed a finger to her
lips.
Two men in top hats stepped off the
gravel path and picked their way across the lawn.
Beau marched C.C. deeper into the
grove around trees and shrubs. Then through an archway of fragrant vines to a
fountain struggling to reflect hazy moonlight. They needed to stay quiet and
hidden.
“Before you drag me any further into
the bushes—”
Didn’t the woman know the meaning of
shhhh? She would give away their hiding place if he didn’t do something quick.
He pulled her to him and covered her mouth with his. Mint and vanilla filled
his senses.
Her sweet, almost maidenly response
surprised him. No, she probably wasn’t a tart. Just a hasty stolen kiss, yet he
couldn’t help appreciate the tantalizing fit of her supple lips under his and
how her body softened against him. His heart stammered and launched into a
faster beat. Lifting his head, he gazed about her bewildered, upturned
countenance, breathlessly poised for a man’s kisses. Hmm, not entirely a maiden
either.
Perhaps another quick kiss would
clarify matters?
