Publisher's Synopsis
Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her family's fishing business afloat. Her poor widowed father has fallen ill, and her foolhardy brother has moved to London, leaving her precious little time to pursue her own dreams. The very last thing Poppy needs to find tangled in her nets is a dangerously attractive man with a head wound - who claims he's a duke. Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but he's having the devil of a time convincing his fiery-haired rescuer of that fact. The truth is, someone in Bellehaven Bay wants to kill him, and he intends to find out who - if he can persuade Poppy to help him. She's wary of Keane's scheme but can't refuse the generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he recovers. It's a business arrangement, she reasons - nothing more.
