Book excerpt: An independent woman is drawn to a handsome naval captain—sent by her controlling father—in this delightful Regency romance. Ever since her father tried to sell her as a mistress to the highest bidder, Eleanor “Nana” Massie has prized her independence above all else—even if it means living in poverty. But her world changes overnight when Captain Oliver Worthy shows up at her struggling inn. Despite herself, Nana is intrigued by her beguiling gentleman guest . . . Oliver planned to stay in Plymouth only long enough to report back to Lord Ratliffe—about Nana. But he soon senses that Lord Ratliffe is up to something, and Oliver will do anything to keep this courageous, beautiful woman safe. He’d even go so far as to marry her!
