A fishermanâs daughter
Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her familyâs 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 woundââwho claims heâs a duke.
And a duke out of water
Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but heâs having a devil of a time convincing his fiery-haired rescuer of that fact. The truth is, someone in Bellehaven wants to kill him, and he intends to find out whoââif he can persuade Poppy to help him.
Sheâs wary of Keaneâs scheme but canât refuse the generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he recovers. Itâs a business arrangement, she reasons ... nothing more.
Are about to make waves
As Keane and Poppy work together to solve the puzzle of his attacker, unexpected feelings blossom between them. But Poppyâs past gives her every reason to mistrust someone like Keane, and when all the facts come to light, she must
decide where her loyalties lie. Torn between the world sheâs always known and the one sheâs always dreamed of, sheâll need to trust Keane for a chance at her fairy-tale ending.
