Description

Surviving the wilds of Cornwall is more life changing than they thought.

Miss Caroline Sloane is on her way to Poughill, Cornwall. In highhanded fashion, her estranged grandfather has arranged a marriage for her to a sea captain she's met but once, and she wishes to convince him otherwise. She'll marry for love or not at all, but an accident with the crowded mail coach on which she's traveling throws her existence into chaos.

Alan Blackmore, the Earl of St. Clair, has been summoned to his Devon estate by his ducal father. His engagement, designed by the duke years ago, has now come due and he must wed to merge holdings. The last thing he wants is a leg-shackling, for he enjoys his life of a rake too much, and he means to tell his father off, but one dark, rainy night on mud-slick roads changes his course forever.

Lost and injured in windswept and rugged Cornwall, the first order of business is survival. As their injuries heal, Caroline and Alan come to know each other while living a simple, uncomplicated life. A friendship of necessity slowly grows into something passionate and scandalous, but when reality returns to rescue them, they both must decide what is more important: duty, tradition, or an unexpected love.

    Is this a love that will blossom as they learn to survive or will it wilt as time passes? They each have to step out of their comfort zones if they want to be able to nurture a possible relationship. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    A product of his station. Alan is 35, has a mistress and is still very much under his father’s thumb. He’s only now beginning to question his worth. He’s very much a product of his station. Oh, the problems of a male in the ton. Oh, and he fully expects to keep his mistress after he weds the spoilt girl his father picked out for him. Caroline’s father was cut off after he wed below his station. Now her grandfather wants to marry her off to a sea captain. Their course is changed after a coach accident and they are forced in a situation where they have to rely on each other with only what they have. So, extenuating circumstances. That’ll reveal their real personalities.
