A fishermanβs daughter
Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her familyβs 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 woundββwho claims heβs a duke.
And a duke out of water
Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but heβs 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 whoββif he can persuade Poppy to help him.
Sheβs wary of Keaneβs scheme but canβt refuse the generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he recovers. Itβs 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 Poppyβs 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 sheβs always known and the one sheβs always dreamed of, sheβll need to trust Keane for a chance at her fairy-tale ending.
