Romance Historical
Previously available as A Secret Life.
Prepare for a romp through Elizabethan England, where
finding love is written in the stars... Comely,
courageous Minerva “Min” Peabody, a poor but passionate
playwright, is determined to make her mark. Ill-fated to
live in Elizabethan England, when women—deemed the inferior
sex—most assuredly did not write plays, Min will
prevail. With her finished play in hand, she implores Roger
Style, a local theatre manager in London, to read it. Though
desperate in his own right—due to a string of commercial
failures—all Style sees before him is a woman playwright,
and refuses to even look at her work. On impulse,
Min changes her story, claiming the play was written by the
man standing across the street, and secures the manager’s
agreement to review it. But her choice of surrogate, Robert
“Blake” Blakewell, promises to be a mixed blessing indeed.
Blake, a handsome blue-eyed sea captain with his own
agenda, is a man with a mysterious past, a pair of
breathtaking shoulders, and an irresistible aura of
intrigue. Though he agrees to her outlandish proposal, she
has to wonder, as she gets lost in his eyes, what in the
world she’s gotten herself into. Blake’s own
mission? To ferret out the cad in Roger Style’s theatre
company responsible for getting his sister with child. And
when that objective threatens to derail Min’s nascent
career, his dilemma is a daunting one: protect either his
family’s honor or the woman who’s slowly but surely
softening his heart and winning his love. Funny,
fast-paced, and with a deliciously dark edge, Her Secret
Desire speaks to any woman who’s ever had to fight for
her dreams in a world that just won’t take her seriously.
