Publisher's Summary
Lord James Gresham, the fifth son of the Duke of Langford, is at a loss over what to do next. He’s made his fortune as a captain in the Royal Navy. Perhaps now he should find a proper wife and set up his nursery, but the sea calls to him. His search for a wife leaves him uninspired, until a beauty with a heart for revenge sweeps into his life.
Half-English, half-Polynesian, Kawena Benson is out to avenge her father and reclaim a cache of stolen jewels. Her chief suspect is Lord James, as she points out with a pistol. There’s nothing for James to do but protest his innocence and help Kawena search for the treasure, even though it turns his world upside down.
What the critics say
'Throw in Ashford's gift for creating intriguingly different characters and her dry sense of humor, and you have a romance worth cherishing.' (Booklist)
'Ashford's delightful second venture into the social lives of the six sons of the Duke of Langford (after Heir to the Duke) pokes gentle fun at British society stuffiness in a story that pits propriety against authenticity, passion and personality.' (Publishers Weekly)
