About this listen

A woman in desperate straits.... A fearless man.... A marriage of convenience on turbulent waters....

Cerynise Kendall has been left destitute and in dire need following the death of her doting patron and protectress. A brilliant young artist tossed from her home with only the clothes on her back, Cerynise must now turn to a childhood companion for assistance—the dashing sea captain Beauregard Birmingham—and beg him to provide her with passage to the Carolinas. She seeks a new home and a new life across the waters, but all depends upon the kindness of a charming adventurer who was once the object of her youthful infatuation.

Beneath Birmingham's rugged exterior beats a heart as large and wild as the Atlantic, and Beau readily agrees to aid Cerynise—even offering her his name in marriage, albeit temporarily, to protect his longtime friend from scandal. But perilous secrets, determined enemies and tempests of the sea and soul threaten their future and safe passage even as bonds of camaraderie are miraculously reforged as bonds of desire...and affection becomes passion and love.

I grew up with a kathleen woodiwiss book on the coffee table and as a teenager this is how I was introduced to the world of romance. I will forester love her books. Great reads, strong heroines and some pretty serious story lines.

serious issues, but strong heroines and heros.

Beau's story rivals his parents and may even have edged it!
What a Wonderful tale of resisting then falling in live and the intrigue of it all, from London to The Carolinas.
This Narrator deserves an Oscar for her various voices delivered so as you know the characters just from their voices!
I will definitely listen to this again in the future!

An Absolute DELIGHT!
