Book Overview

An elusive poet clashes with an opinionated young lady...


Cornelius Vale, hard-working steward of his brother's land, has another secret identity as acclaimed poet Simon Sacheverill. No one has ever met the mysterious poet - except the woman who once accosted him in a London bookshop and tore his works to shreds.


When he encounters That Girl again at a Blackhaven ball, he is appalled.


If only he knew, the girl in question, Lady Alice Conway, adores his poetry and is completely bowled over by the man. She too has secrets. She longs to play her own musical compositions in the great concert halls of Europe. And, disgusted by male physical contact, she refuses to marry. Unfortunately, she rejects a dangerous nobleman who hates to lose.


Despite frequent quarrels, Cornelius and Alice keep each other's secrets and grow ever closer, incurring the ire of his old love and of the suitors determined to marry Alice.


As threats fall from all sides, will they risk everything to save each other? And if they do, is there even a way for them to be together?

About Mary Lancaster

Mary Lancaster's first love was historical fiction. Since then she has grown to love coffee, chocolate, red wine and black and white films - simultaneously where possible. She hates housework. As a direct consequence of the first love, she studied history at St. Andrews University, after which she worked variously as editorial assistant, researcher and librarian. Although she has always written stories for her own entertainment, she began to make serious efforts toward publication in order to distract herself from a job she disliked. She now writes full time at her seaside home in Scotland, which she shares with her husband and three children.
