Description
A roguish sea captain battles his attraction to a gently-bred hellion.
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 rescue a damsel in distress and see her safely to England. Nor should he foolishly entertain romantic notions about a future with the impulsive beauty. Even if she is the loveliest creature he’s ever laid eyes on, and only she makes him forget his past.
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 Oliver Whitehouse. Though she saves the swashbuckling scoundrel’s life and enjoys a forbidden kiss, the infuriating man spurns her.
Dare Oliver risk everything to pursue Blaike, despite the vast difference in their social stations, or should he sail away? Leaving his heart behind?
For an adventurous page-turning Regency Historical Romance novel brimming with suspense, passion, and tenderness, read this installment of the Conundrums of the Misses Culpepper.

A very interesting read!! Oliver is a noble, honorable man who cares for his ship’s crew like a family while ignoring his true family, and I loved him. Blaike is an honest and open-minded woman which made her a good partner for Oliver. The funny M’Lady Lottie had me smiling and giggling like everyone else. As hearts break because of noble intentions, I kept turning pages to see how all would end.
