GENRE: Historical Romance

BLURB:
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:
“Dear brother, it’s more than cultural differences! She’s
been here a decade. We’ve talked ourselves hoarse trying to convince her she
only reinforces the rumors of instability with outbursts like those at dinner.
She truly acts chastened and then does it again. I’ve a mind, deep down, our
Miss Collins hates men.”
Beau slowly rolled his cigar in his mouth remembering how
her soft, full lips moved so delightfully under his and how her lush body
melted against him. He jerked the cigar from his mouth. “There must be some
mistake.”
His brother’s expression grew reflective. “Had a mare like
her once. Refused every stud we presented. Nearly gelded one or two we had mount—”
Mount. Dear God. “Well I—” Beau coughed as he struggled to
keep a provocative image of he and C.C. from his mind. Fatigue, too much brandy
and now this added bit of mischief made his head pound. Pinching his eyes
together, he blinked and grasped for some topic to erase the image. “Does she
have outbursts with women?”
“Never seen one. Can’t say she’s ever spoken to me in any
way but cordial either. Odd woman, our Auntie Cali. The insanity must come from
her American mother’s side.”
Thomas turned and slapped Beau on the back. “I’ve a
wonderful wife and must occasionally brush up against some of her crazy
relatives. You, on the other hand, are free to keep whatever company suits you.
Miss Collins is a pretty package but believe me, you can do better.”
