Publisher's Synopsis
Formerly title Blaike: Secrets Gone Askew
A sea-captain with a score to settle. A gently-bred matchmaking hellion. A love that won't be denied.
Captain Oliver Whitehouse has two goals: make the final payment on his ship and exact revenge for his grandfather's murder. He certainly shouldn't interrupt years of planning to save a damsel in distress and see her safely to England. Nor should he foolishly entertain romantic notions about a future with the impulsive beauty that her guardian has warned him away from. Even if she is the loveliest creature he's ever laid eyes on, and only she makes him forget his past.
Ward to a powerful earl, Blaike Culpepper once craved adventure and excitement. Until her impetuousness nearly caused her ruin. Now shadowed by scandal, and pursued by a madman, she finds herself obligated to the darkly handsome sea captain for rescuing her. A man she's been attracted to since they first met at a ball and she's grown to love. Though Blaike saves the swashbuckling scoundrel's life and they enjoy a tantalizing kiss, the infuriating man won't woo her.
Once Oliver returns Blaike safely to England, he must make an agonizing decision. Dare he risk everything to pursue her, despite the vast difference in their social stations? Or should he sail away, leaving his heart behind?
