Book Description:
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…
Book Excerpt:
“Since you burned my letters we still have much to discuss.”
He squared his shoulders. “I think not. Our brief
association is at an end. I do not wish to be a part of your mad games. After
the night before last—”
“After the night before last?”
“It seems best to allow you your distance.”
He heard a quick intake of breath and a rustle of silk. Her
voice seemed to rise in pitch, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone what you
almost did with crazy ol’ Miss Collins. But then you have lots of secrets, do
you not, Captain Tollier? What’s one more?”
“I don’t know what you mean, nor do I care.” He started
walking again.
“Looking at all these…lovely portraits, I can see why people
whisper you’re the family’s cuckoo.”
Lurching around, he clenched his fists in an effort to
control his temper. Not only did the insult shock, it cut into one of his
earliest, deepest insecurities. He lowered his voice to a dangerous calm. “You
are fortunate to be a woman, madam. Were you a man, such an insult might force
me to call you out.”
She stood and gave him a look so sultry it almost begged him
to teach her lessons of a different sort.
“Ah yes, call me out. And what should I call you?”
He turned to leave, hoping to prevent saying or doing
something he’d regret. Before he’d taken two steps, C.C. said in a voice full
of authority, “Mr. Wainwright. Perhaps Captain Scott? Or would it be Cornelius
Dolan?”
The hairs on his neck stood straight out.
