Description
An arranged marriage. A young independent woman. A sea captain who will either ruin it all or teach her what love and passion really are.
Sara Powers is trying to become an actress, but the thing standing in her way is that she's engaged to Captain Robert Burns- a complete stranger. Her success on stage (or was it the kiss on stage?) bring Captain Burns to her door to claim her and take her away. Can she have freedom and love or does she have to choose one? Can he make up for his long silence and win her heart?
A Historical Romance Novella with a HEA, a few laughs, a few real historical characters and some fun in front of the fireplace.
Excerpt:
Robert Burns blinked to make sure he wasn't hallucinating, watching her was a little like seeing the blue flames of St Elmo’s Fire clinging to the mast of his ship during a thunderstorm, - scary at first, but beautiful too, hypnotic- he wasn't at all sure of what he was witnessing. He'd expected her to be surprised by his arrival, but had not expected an argument at their first meeting. He expected she would see she was wrong, and she would beg for forgiveness, and he would forgive her, because what did he really care about some actor, and what people said? And that would be it. But the fierce young woman standing before him, with her hands clenched into fists, seemed more ready to fight him than to beg for his forgiveness. She was defiant, and he couldn't remember the last time he found a woman so interesting.
